I just bought a 40mm F2.8 STM pancake lens, and it seems to have a decentred lens element. You can take a look at a random test image I took here:

The image was taken at F5.6. As you can see, the left side and middle look like they are in focus (from the closest water to the background. However, on the right side, from near to far, nothing is in focus besides maybe the extreme close right bottom corner.
The whole reason I bought the lens was because my main zoom lens also has a decentred element ( Tamron 28-75 F2.8 ), and I will have to wait until about April 17 to take it to the service center in Cologne.
I guess I have to take it back to the store (bought it new).
1) How often are you guys getting decentred elements?
2) What do you think of the above image, is this proof enough of the problem?
3) Could the lens mount be to blame?
Several more images exhibit the same issue to varying degrees.
