Having a 24mm focal length also make architecture photography easier although it is not possible to have parallel corrected pictures when the zoom is being used for such purpose. Bear in mind that when it comes to shooting architecture structures as part of your holiday photos or simply just for hobby, the buildings not being parallel to your camera's film plane is not a major problem.

Far from it, the perspective distortions associated with all wide-angle focal lengths can made make architecture photography more interesting when the buildings are being photographed as though they are leaning backwards, away from the camera.

For the first picture of a commercial building in Kuala Lumpur, the idea is to have something in the foreground to provide a sense of the differences in heights between the towering structures and in this case, the tree and less emphasis on the "leaning" look.

For the second and third pictures, the tree was left out and the EF 24-85mm zoom lens was used to photograph the buildings at its 24mm and 85mm focal lengths respectively. In both cases, the heights of the buildings can still be acknowledged despite their seemingly "leaning backward" tendencies.
