Strangely enough the Xenar ones, even though theoretically rarer, do
not seem very treasured by collectors or the buying public.  At least
not as a premium for it's relative rarity.  One just went on the
classifieds on rangefinderforum.com for about $125.  I considered
picking it up just to round out my collection of the 35T and 35S but
then sanity prevailed (actually someone else took it before I
weakened, thank god).

Great camera.  Enjoy it, and know that only you and at max 29,999
others have one.  ;-)
