What are you calling distortion?  This lens should not have a measureable

Measurable, even noticeable, the distortion of the 60 mm lens indeed is. But is is certainly not bad.

But the point about perhaps confusing wide angle perspective (which not just shows as converging straight lines, but also an 'elongation' of objects in the corners) with distortion is a good one.
