Subject: [Leica] Meaning of the word Noctilux

Regarding the recent thread of what Noctilux 'means'.....

Given the cost of the lens....

"nocti"  from the Latin meaning "nothing"...

"lux" from the Latin meaning "left"...

"Noctilux" = "Nothing Left"  :)

Regards,

Bob (having enough trouble paying for a Heliar!) Keene
