Is it a rectilinear lens?   The third picture taken with the lens of the 
buildings looks a lot like a fisheye.  The other two pictures look much 
like rectilinear pictures, but of course pictures taken with a full frame 
fisheye have straight verticals and horizontals if they pass through the 
center of the field.

Wow look at the finder on top of the Bessa body with the 12mm lens?
