Agreed. I always preferred the Tessar to the Planar. I also have a Tessar on my Noblex which is wonderful.

I have to admit never worked wit a Tessar but I had a Xenar on my Rolleiflex which performed very well, although many said it wasn't worth mentioning, to whom I disagreed...

Yes - the Xenar is very similar. On paper the Planar should be the "better" design, but I always found the Tessar to have smoother tonal transitions and a less clinical look. I wish they had made a 75mm Tessar for the Hasselblad 500...

The orange pink sky and orange tinted snow is a rare phenomenon from Saharan winds bringing sand across the continent.
