Hi Nathan,
Please note the dome at the top of the stair is elliptical - not  
circular. The docent says it is one of only three such domes in the  
world. That shape may be making you think the distortion is greater  
than it really is. The GF 1 and the 20 is a great carry around  
combination. Have left my D700 and M8 at home.
Cheers
Howard
