There's no such a thing as uncorrectable distortion.
The distortion is easy to fix with PtLens. When I notice it I just fix it.

Even with PtLens the distortion is still evident, I have had 2 variants of the lens, others in the camera club have had the same problems.
It is good for the price, but doesn't really compare to the better specimens, though you will pay a *lot* more for them.
The Samyang fisheye is incredibly sharp, but the 14mm is definitely soft, I haven't seen a single sharp one yet. I'd love to see some pictures from yours, I think you got really lucky.
The calibration was also way out on all the models I have seen infinity is usually reached way before the infinity stop. I think with any of these cheapie lenses it is a bit of a lucky dip. I'd buy one if they have a money back guarantee, that way if you get a great one you are set, if you get a dud, you can take it back.
