Absolutely correct about manual registration on a chart. The difference in lenses was also apparent. Cheap lenses not only caused varying registration but also a noticeable drop in sharpness, especially when viewing the RBG channels of the camera prior to NTSC encoding. Cheap lenses also had more optical flare, which tended to cause issues with black balance instability. Expensive lenses were usually far nicer in all these areas.
