Re: Panasonic 14-42mm

Decentered lenses are certainly annoying. It seems to be more common with today's more complex lens designs. My Canon G9X is a bit soft on the right side when using telephoto. I just couldn't live with it and sold the camera. You will get the "Lens is within acceptable limits" argument when you send it in.

I have two copies of the Panasonic 12-32 pancake lens and it is a very good lens. It might be something to try. You give up some reach on the long end but gain a 24mm equivalent view on the wide end which you might find desirable in your shooting. Just a thought.
