[OM] Distortion in 35/2.8?

I just printed an 8x10 shot with my Zuiko 35/2.8 (single coated), with an old 
church near the centre, and three old lamp posts, one near the centre, and one 
near each edge of the frame. Upon printing, I noticed the outer lamp posts are 
leaning inwards toward the centre of the frame.

Since I don't recall them being this way, I must assume this is distortion in 
the lens, although I don't recall exactly the name for this effect.

Is this typical of the 35/2.8, and if so, are there Zuikos in the 24-35 range 
which are better at controlling this effect?

I'm afraid the shot is ruined, as is a vertical of the same church. At least 
with the vertical, I expected a problem, since I don't have a shift lens. The 
horizontal shot came as a surprise to me.
