But I was talking about the typical distortion ultra-wideangles produce that turns circles into ovals when they are near the edge of the frame. Even your indoor conference shot doesn't seem to do this. There is a coffee cup in the lower right corner that looks normal, not stretched out. But, then, I'm assuming that is also shot at 7mm, but I don't know if that is the case. > I, too, am impressed.
