The original 14-54 is relatively large and heavy because it was designed as a
highish end, low compromise lens. Oly
didn't want a mediocre lens, like the kit zooms on standard DSLRs, to prevent
their new format from looking good, so
their first kit lens was a step or two above.
There is generally little linear distortion at the long end of low focal length
range zooms anyway. So I would expect
exactly what you found.
