Hi Richard,
Sorry I don't quite understand what you mean?

If a super-wide is tilted the least amount you'll get distortion or if a 
subject is almost touching the camera you'll see some kind of distortion 
effect.

But in Graham's interior it works perfectly because it's a big wide open 
space so there isn't any distortion. I suppose others more inclined at 
measuring things will find some, but for me it's a fine interior photograph 
as it should look.

I'm sure I missed your question point, if so please try me again. Thank you.
ted
