OK, how in the world are you throwing much out of focus (and why) with this lens? Are you just trying to go the minimum focus distance to try it?I might later, yeah... But the GH and G firmware can't correct it when it's in the OOF areas like this. Which is why I tried to get the potentially troubled areas in the OOF portion of the scene. You're right tho. The camera's firmware does a lot of shifting of the color plates for that lens and images that are all sharp and in focus are typically well corrected.
The one UWA I mentioned that also has a CA problem is the exact same deal except I have to correct for it in ACR by hand. One setting fits all images and almost all of it's images need it. The difference between it and the Lumix is only that the GH1 does it for the Lumix automatically without user intervention. Handy.
At 7mm at f4.0 with a subject distance of 3 feet the you should be OK from 1.42 feet to infinity hyperfocal 2.7 feet
At 14mm at f4.0 hyperfocal is 10.8 feet.
