Hi Allen: Looks like our group consensus is that there are some great Xenars and rather more 'just ok' Xenars. Carlos quoted Prochnow as saying every Rollei with a Planar and Xenotar was checked individually, but I guess the Xenar's were 'QAd' not 'QCd'. Maybe its my Xenar and not me, then. Phew! Although I have to admit I have a bit of 'sample variation' myself. -----Original Message----- From: Allen Zak [mailto:azak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, February 2, 2010 10:54 AM To: rollei_list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [rollei_list] Re: Who uses a T as a 'daily driver' I really believe it is a matter of individual samples. Since the mid-1950s I have owned several Xenar equipped 'flexes and 'cords and found them ranging from just okay to stellar. <--snip--> --- Rollei List - Post to rollei_list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx - Subscribe at rollei_list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'subscribe' in the subject field OR by logging into www.freelists.org - Unsubscribe at rollei_list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the subject field OR by logging into www.freelists.org - Online, searchable archives are available at //www.freelists.org/archives/rollei_list
