The Xenar lens is of the Tessar design. Tessars comprise 4 elements in three groups and have been around since 1902, so their optics are well-understood. There are no surprises with a Tessar. It is good at everything you want it to do, but excels at nothing. It's reasonably sharp, yet not very sharp , and it keeps chromatic and spherical aberrations under control. On the other hand, there also is no excitement.
Camera: Robot Royal 36 mechanical rangefinder camera
