Default what kind of lens for buildings?
One of my favorite subjects is buildings. I seem to remember there being a lens where you don't get the quite so distorted look. What type of lens is that? I want to say bellows...but I could be wrong.

Tilt-shift, if I'm not mistaken.

Technically, you just need a shift lens to help eliminate keystoning. Tilt is for DoF manipulation.

But you can also use software to do perspective correction.

Unless you're shooting walls from the side.
