Astigmatism, understood as an average difference between vertical and horizontal MTF50 function values, amounted to 10% so can be called medium. Still the maximum focal length is the biggest contributor to that value as the astigmatism level at that point reaches 14%.

Taking into account the fact that you deal here with an ultra wide-angle zoon lens we cannot criticize the blurry areas too harshly. Only features that stick out in a negative way are a lighter rim and deformations of the circle due to the lens’s mapping. After all out-of-focus areas are not a feature you expect from a lens with such angles of view, additionally offered for a small Micro 4/3 camera format.
