I believe that many of the optical tests performed today are undertaken *minus*
the camera body, ie the lens is mounted on a rigid stage on a test bench. This
may discriminate in favour of those camera makers whose lens bayonets may not be
as flat and as accurately positioned as a Leica's or whose ability to hold film
perfectly flat - something which Leica Ms are reputedly very good at - is less
than perfect.
