Mechanical Construction of Summarit Lenses?

I bought brand new, never opened from a dealer who was selling a batch of 20 or so 2.5 Summarits just after the 2.4 was discontinued. Had 14 days of return online no questions asked and the usual warranty. Yet I was hesitant, I kept telling myself "it is a BRAND NEW Leica lens for goodness sake, maybe this is still within tolerance" for a year (it was not THAT decentered, but it was visible wide open nevertheless and I always test the lenses for decentering wide open at infinity first) until I got my hands on another Summarit 75 which was pin sharp edge to edge wide open. After I saw the comparison I said damn I've had it and sold my 75 Summarit.

Bought a mint 75 Mandler lux and never looked back.
