. . . These lenses have a tiny bit of focus shift wide open . . .

I knew it! That's why I sold mine for a price that was about double an amount, which itself was then considered a high price.

Well, I made the fumble of dropping my MC Kern with sweaty hands on a hot trail, and scratched the front coatings, but still sold it for more than it cost me brand new; and the purchaser (a dealer) still had to pay for the recoating before raising the price even more. I wanted the single-coat version anyway by that point, which was a lot more affordable then than now, even for a mint example. "Cult lenses".
