Talking about the Planar 2.8/80, Claus Prochnow explained me once the
Rollei tolerances for Planar and Xenotar lenses were identical, both
Schneider and CZ used these tolerance limits widely to make the
lenses("..lenses made on Monday specially..." wrote CP smiling) and
then most TLR Planar and Xenotar 2.8 and 3.5 had identical performance
from factory, however there were some Xenotar and Planar lenses with a
performance higher than the Rollei tolerance limits as natural product
of the manufacture process, CP believed these better lenses were the
origin about Xenotar vs Planar quality discussion, but these better
lenses were Planar and Xenotar too. Rollei tested each Planar and
Xenotar lens with the CZ K6 lens tester machine, Tessar and Xenar
lenses were tested by sample.
These photographs were taken with the 2.8C Xenotar Schneider 2.8/80,
Velvia 100 slide film, the first one has the sun in the image upper
edge demanding camera and lens effort to show some detail in spite of
the flare; the second one has something of directsunlight too but the
lighting is different:
