The Schneider web site says they made the large-format Xenars until
the mid 1990s (this is a surprise to me). I wonder if the later ones
were any better.

If the mid 80's sample I had was anything to go by the later LF Xenars
were every bit as horrible as Schneider's earlier output.

Quality of Angulons was probably worse, but some rather good
samples did manage to escape the factory.
