Lens calibration: Panasonic Lumix G Vario 12-35mm f2.8

[klausw]

Here are some manually eyeballed calibration values for this lens. None of the automated methods worked for me, I tried afx's script, Hugin's calibrate_lens_gui and the old-fashioned Hugin control point method and all seemed to generate excessively large correction values for the test images I tried.

If someone has more accurate values, please post an update, but this at least appears to be an improvement over no correction at all.
