Here's a couple of shots of the Bixby Bridge in Big
Sur, Calif. 
This first one was taken with the 21/3.5 and the
second one was taken with the 16/3.5:

Note that even with the 16mm any line converging on
the center of the picture are straight (although
foreshortened)but all the rest that are perpendicular
to the radial lines from the center are distorted. But
with a careful composition, it just looks weird but
without an obvious fisheye look.
