The design history of the 1.5/5cm Xenon is rather complicated. Taylor, Taylor & Hobson first had a patent for a 1.5 5 cm lens and granted Schneider Kreuznach a license to produce and sell lenses with their design. Leitz was working along the same lines and Leitz and Schneider decided to cooperate. The Xenon was the result. As Summarit it appeared after WWII in a coated version, and would be the basis for the first Summilux 50mm lens.
