If you're looking for a 40-45mm lens: take a look at this group test by the good people of Lensrentals: Are the 40s Fabulous?
A rather disturbing conclusion is that the Panasonic lenses seem to suffer more than other brands from sample variation where some samples are ok but many were way off.
Lenstip's review of the PL 12mm/1.4 pointed in that direction as well as their review sample was (also) de-centered.
Quite disturbing as I like this WA lens a lot but I'm feeling hesitant, to say the least, because of this sample variation.
