Thanks for the including heaps of pictures. Like the responses so far, it looks like it's related to "perspective distortion".

In simple terms, it's when you tilt the lens. I have done this a few times either intentionally or unintentionally.

I have included some examples below.

Example #1 Sigma 16mm on Sony A6000

Camera was tilted quite heavily (upwards), this caused significant perspective distortion.

Sigma 16mm - Before LR transform (Vertical)

Sigma 16mm - After LR transform (Vertical)

Example #2 Fujifilm16mm on X-T3

basic "vertical" transform. Camera was tilted upwards slightly (minor), you can see highlighted in red.

Fujifilm 16mm - Before LR transform (Vertical)

Fujifilm 16mm - After LR transform (Vertical)

Hope that helps. The lens looks fine to me.
