Some pre-war Retina II cameras have the f:2 Xenon, and some have the f:2,8
Xenon. But I believe the latter really is the five element Xenar. Maybe they
used the Xenon name to make this 2,8 lens to stand out from the ordinary
Xenar?
I sent an email to Schneider about this, and I hope they can dig up some old
information about this. :-)
