So I'm looking for a fast 35mm lens (f/2.0) and on an auction site
there is a Schneider Xenon 35mm f/2 in what looks to be a very Eastern
Bloc barrel/helical.  I really think this lens is a fabbed up version
of a Zeiss Flektogon or perhaps a Cine-Xenon with a bezel labeled
Schneider Xenon.
Did Schneider ever make a Xenon 35mm with an f/2 aperture?

thanks,
Phil Forrest
