From what I gather - 1 - 'lux is the wide aperture lenses, f1/ 1.2, and 1.4 2 - summicron is the "best" overall lens, usually start with f2 3 - elmarit and summarit are the small sized, small aperture (2.8 and higher) lens What do the prefix noctui-, summi-, and elmar- mean? I guess noctui- is related to "night" or imply wide aperture. How about the others. Please don't get mad if this is so trivially obvious or stupid. The delete key is only a few inches away.
