Re: Distortion questions

In addition to the comprehensive answer above, it should be noted that 15mm (even on a crop camera) is wide angle. The 15-45mm might be the "standard" zoom that came with the camera, but 15mm is still classified as wide angle.

Converging diagonals is I think the term, and it is quite common with most wide angle lenses and as above can be mitigated (by keeping the camera as level as possible), but it is a common problem - hence the existence of tilt-shift lenses.
