Feel free to tell me I'm dizzy, but:
I find correctly perspective corrected images to make the buildings look top-heavy. You've got the lines straight and parallel, but what I'd want would be a perceptually realistic (yes, that doesn't mean anything: sue me) rendering. And I don't know how to do that.
I let my Canon 24 TSE II go because with the adaptor it was just too much of a clunker on a mirrorless. Sigh. So I haven't put in anywhere near the amount of effort this deserves.
@djl I think a lot of what looks "correct" has to do with learned expectations. If you look at photos of architecture from, say, 100 years ago, the majority display carefully aligned vertical lines, because most cameras had movements that made that easy. As small cameras (without movements) became more common even in professional use, that expectation declined.
@djl Also, if you look at paintings from the same period, you often see the opposite, with highly exaggerated perspective effects that photography of the time generally avoided. (See, for example O'Keeffe's skyscraper paintings).
