Thanks for the info, John. BTW, this was the first time I'd visited your site via the homepage and used the thumbnails for reference. Very well structured site design.

You wouldn't know if there was any barrel or pincushion in photographs such
as these:

You could if there was any in architecturals with strong rectilinear lines
such as these.  The last one would have been easy for spotting barrel or
pincushion as I remember painfully having to hand hold the shift lens for
it.   The slightest bit off from a horizontal lens axis or vertical base
plate showed dramatically in the edges of the viewfinder:
