I'd test yours out in daylight shots/focus test charts. Perhaps a decentred lens.

Thanks for the advice Greg. I have noticed some of the problems you mentioned and I have a program called PTLens which is supposed to fix Pincushion and Barrel distortion. it provides a number of adjustments including the centering. I need to experiment with it a bit more as I haven't ventured beyond the default settings yet. It would appear that the old adage of you get what you pay for is in full effect.
