Some reason I like this picture quite a bit: http://www.dragonsgate.net/richard/gaslamp.jpg Comments? I am a bit surprised by the building distortion on the left, as I'm pretty sure I was using the 50mm lens at that time.

This is actually a comfort to me. I have a photo I like a lot of some local buildings and despite using a 50mm lens for the expressed purpose of avoiding the keystoning effect of the wides, the lines of one of the buildings toward the edge of the FOV has a similar goofy distortion.

John Shaw (I think) encourages one to think of the 50mm as a "long WA". Perhaps that's more than a mental game. One of the technical list members will surely have an explanation. Is this a "non-flat-field" type of problem?
