Hi,

Somebody must of asked this question before.

So sorry in advance here goes anyway.

 

What does the designated name mean on Leica lens

ie Elmar,Summilux,Elmarit,Summicron,Summarit and Noctilux etc.

Are they a trade name or some technical term used to describe the design?

 

I feel sure someone out there will have the knowledge.

Thanks for looking at this my first post on The Leica Forum.

If you require further information on this matter, the search facility is perhaps the most efficient way to proceed. Thanks.
