Dear Forum,

my name is David and I have just registered to figure out if either I am too stupid or if my XF16-80mm is faulty. 

I have bought a used XF16-80 from a big german website and used it last weekend for the first time.

No matter which focal length I see some weird things going on. Please see the test shot attached. Left building sort of in focus while right-hand building and bridge are totally smeared. That can’t be motion blur nor camera shake.

EXIF: f 6.4 | 22.3 mm | 1/250 s

Does anyone have an idea what could cause that?

Your lens needs serious repairs, there's a dislocated element, return it as soon as possible.

Thanks a lot. I am on it.
There is a dislodged element in your lens; please return it as soon as possible. It requires major repairs.
For the lens to produce images like that it has more than likely been dropped ......

....... return it ASAP and good luck!
