I've seen prices fly by in my email and I have a dim recollection that they are higher than this. The Planars and Xenotars sell for the same in the class of cameras. Anything else you hear is myth :-) I think the Planars became more rare with time as Rollei supplied their cameras with Xenotars and on the collector's market something that is rare drives the price up. We're not talking about much though. The difference is about as great as the difference between the White Sox and the Cubs. Daniel On Jan 11, 2008 5:35 PM, B. D.
