I get your point, but apparently there is software available that can
correct these distortions.
Indeed for just three or four pictures, my cheapie "Adobe Photoshop
Elements" program does that *automatically*! Check out my Rolleiflex

Admittedly this one was taken on a tripod, but I am also working on a
set of 35mm negatives I had taken a few years ago hand-held. The view
is of my garden.
Cheers.
