The 'right' way to test a de-centered lens is to shoot a flat scene like a piece of printed paper. And you've a controlled environment which should be invariant to aperture values. In theory, you should be able to test it from f1.8 to f22.

Your point about shooting landscape is valid in everyday use cases but not for testing de-centering. What conclusion can you draw if a shot looks perfect at f22 but not at f8, say?

Edit: the new pic with the 25mm looks fine to me(left hand is not any blur-er than right) and much better than the zoom.  IMO.
