Well, I'll try to explain...without copying the shot I want to discuss. Let's go back here

and look at first shot.

Just behind this girl at the center you can see rectangular frame/poster that looks good, straight, and reasonably vertical. Now, look to the right, and you will see the building with set of structural details, and they bother my eyes, because it is to much for 17 mm focus distance. My 14-45 does better at 14 mm.

If you look at the left side from this girl, you will see the same behavior, but limited by frame.

This lens acts like a partial fish eye lens, and this is what I do not like.

Probably, I'm an exception here who cares more about distortion than sharpness.
