As I have posted before, this NEVER existed in the PENTAX screwmount era, EVERY lens was tested TWICE, once in JAPAN and again in USA before being sold in USA. Thats often overlooked, anyone can design modern lenses, building them and quality controlling them is another issue altogether. Thats why todays lenses are as cheap as they are, they dont take the time and labor to test them like they used to. Its also why many people still prefer to use older lenses. They are a "known good" for the most part unless you come across one thats been serviced and poorly serviced.

I sent an FA* 300mm F4.5 lens back to Colorado for repair a few years ago. It came back to me horrible mis-calibrated (blurry at all apertures), so I sent it back. The second time I got it back it was dialed in and very sharp. I sent my DA* 16-50 back this spring due to uneven sharpness across the frame. It came back worse than when I sent it. So it's back in Colorado again. I'm hoping it comes back in better condition. Maybe I'm a "second time's the charm" guy....
