Full frame 35 mm lenses usually don’t have any distortion-related problems. On a small APS-D/DX sensor the measurements usually show slight barrel distortion (ranging from –0.5% to less than –1.0%) which increases to a range from –1% to almost –2% when you progress to full frame.
The Canon EF 35 mm f/2 IS USM compares here well. On the smaller detector its distortion reaches –0.65% and on full frame it gets to –1.34%.
