Somewhere on the web I read a figure on the tolerance of lens grinding.

My search skills to find that again have failed.

Can anyone help?

What is the purpose of finding out such obscure information?

Well, it would interest me as well. It would give me a better understanding why some lenses are decentered and others not. Is it a physical limit? Or poor quality control of grinding single lenses?

Leica (traditionally) and Voigtlander (today) are reported to select lenses in such a way that different lenses in a camera lens compensate their manufacturing errors. This actually means that there migt be manufacturing tolerances that cannot be improved on, but selection of single glas lenses in a certain way could nevertheless improve overall performance.

This gives an idea what the specific issues might be.
