Yes, keep the verticals straight to avoid the keystoning distortion.   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.
