Yes, the camera itself adds the curves to horizontal lines and this is not avoidable with this type of cameras. I think some people hate this and get Fujifilm TX-2 or Hasselblad XPan. I don't mind the distortion.

More examples of images taken with this camera:

Exactly.... on many of those you show the distortion of the horizon and of vertical edges of buildings is quite acceptable, almost unnoticeable, in my view. A few of the interiors you show exhibit the curvature that attends pointing the camera up or down. A few examples of mine are at http://mysite.verizon.net/vze7pfrw/id14.html

Brush with greatness

Rowland Scherman, who we all met during the Cape get-together, has a nice arts-front story in today's Boston Globe, and he's having a show in Orleans with prints by Bob Korn, who we also met..

Wow, what a story! I loved the prints he showed us - I had no idea how much there was behind them. Thanks for sharing this!
