From CarlosMFreaza:

At the ending of 1972 the contract to provide Carl Zeiss standard
lenses for the Rollei TLR cameras finished ....

According the Prochnow's Report 2 third reviewed edition from 2008,
3000 Rolleiflex T with Xenar 3,5/75 lenses were made from the
beginning of 1973 to August 1976 ...

I think Rollei used the Xenar lens on the T for a lot of cameras and
then it has nothing special..

Thanks Carlos for those precise details.

Nothing special, but only 3000 Xenars for the rolleiflex T ...
Independantly, a rolleiflex T is not rare and a 3.5-75 mm Xenar has
nothing special ; only the combination of both is special from a
Rollei-historical point of view. Many things can be rare and still be
without anything special ;-)

I remember this syllogism supposed to puzzle kids ;-)
"- Boy, listen to this: everything rare is expensive - Yes Dad!
 - Ok, then: a good but cheap horse is rare - I agree!
 - Therefore a good cheap horse is expensive"
