In fact that has not been so for about 20 years. Robot built lenses are all pretty accurately ground and centered. There is not much difference whatever the format in current top quality lenses whether for 35mm, 120, 4x5, or even 8x10. And some of the 20 year old lenses are actually better than the current ones (they can no longer use the same glass because of evironmental regulations).
