Yes, they are good. But that kind of distortion has nothing to do with the definition of super-wide. Superwide means how wide an angle it has. Not "lens with lots of distortion." Every wide angle has perspective distortion. That is, put someone's head in the corner and it will stretch to egg-like proportions or worse. Nothing to do with optical correction. If you were to put your own eye into a similar perspective, you'd see egg-shaped heads too. Because the front of the head is closer than the back and that distorts your view of it.
