I don't find any issue with distortion on this lens. No real barrel distortion and yes, LR has the lens in its database so you will be good to go, but I don't ever really notice it has to correct much. I very much like shooting portraits at 35mm. Can't get close because the model's nose turns into a shnoze quickly but I do move around a lot shooting and also crop images to get the traditional portrait framing.

But you can't go wrong having that 50mm in your kit either, or something close to it. I've only got 2 lenses in my bag these days, the sig 35mm and the nikkor 60mm macro.
