The REALLY rare ones are the 35's with Xenar sold
in the Warsaw Pact -- these are only
distinguishable by an engraving indicating
manufacture in the BRD. They were not a regular
production of F&H but were made on order by some
camera dealer for sale to the Communist
Apparatchiki. I believe there are about 250 of these.
Most 35's sold in the Warsaw pact are marked on
the lens ring with "Opton T" insted of Carl Zeiss
Tessar. There are a fair number of these around.
