NB23 Posted May 5, 2016 Share #21 Â Posted May 5, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) I assume you mean Summicron. Â Jeff What is summi? Summarit? Summar? Summitar? Summilux? Summicron? "Summi" is so ambiguous. Â Cron means only one thing: summicron. No ambiguity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NB23 Posted May 5, 2016 Share #25 Â Posted May 5, 2016 Yes but you should acknowledge it was an amusing rejoinder. Not especially. In the Leica M world, the term or even the lens nocticron is as relevant as the fabled PizzaDonut. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â So then I guess you'd be fine with marrit, mitar, and milux. Â 'Cron' is just as annoying IMO....as you say, we have enough useless terms already.

Â Jeff This is basic's basic comon sense and I can't believe it's so hard to understand. You simply can't ask people to choose between "two summi" and expect them to understand that you are refering to a summilux and a Summicron. Not Even Gandalf has this power. Â But you can always ask people about "two crons" and expect them to understand that you are talking about two Summicrons. Â Besides, the terms Cron and Lux are standardized terms that have an exact meaning. They aren't useless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pop Posted May 5, 2016 Share #33 Â Posted May 5, 2016 ... Besides, the terms Cron and Lux are standardized terms that have an exact meaning. They aren't useless. This is a meaning of the term "standardized term" I haven't been aware of before. Â I agree that they're not useless. Using those terms turns your well thought out posts into gibberish for all but the initiate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaapv Posted May 5, 2016 Share #40 Â Posted May 5, 2016 Cron an Lux etc. have a clear meaning: they indicate that the user is a fully paid-up member of the Leica incrowd and a proud Leica Man. Crons. Noctis, Luxes etc. are solely intended for use on the M10. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
