I did calculations for 50mm at f/8 focused at 10 meters and 2 meters. 
At 2 meters, after adjusting the aperture from f/8 to f/7.2 or 7.3 (I 
don't remember which) the differences in near and far focus from the 
Zeiss table were small enough that they would require close measurement 
with a ruler.  Perhaps they would be greater if I chose an even shorter 
distance but I don't think you have any basis for claiming such unless 
you also did the calculations for comparison against the Zeiss table.
