here's a stupid question from a newbie:

does anyone know what the genesis of these names or why:

Summicron
Summaron
Summilux
Elmarit

i asked the German Gentleman from Leica at the KSP mini-Photokina
and he didn't know....

and what does "APO" mean ?

not that it really matters, but i am quite interested.

many thanks,

m
