Just tried it with the 45mm on the Pentax 67: when level, distortion is 
minimal. But it also has to do with the proximity of the subject/object and 
its position in the frame? But then again, it's not the Biogon. I think 
you'd always have some sort of distortion, it's just a matter of how you 
hide it best.

All the best from Paris!
