I wonder if the Xenars were a re-computed design, as the Tessars were, for T's?
If the Xenars weren't, I can understand why the Xenars would not be especially
valuable and Tessar T's would be preferable.
(I'm asking because all this discussion has made me interested in trying a
Tessar T – or Xenar, if it's the same lens design.)
