You are probably right ... but if 'crons are all f2, 'luxes all f1.4 and so on, why not....

Indeed. Leica logic is sometimes strange. After all, the 85/1.5 Summarex bears no resemblance to the 50/2 Summar, but then Max Berek named it after his dog. His other dog was Hektor....

Let's face it, we could have ended up with a lens called Summilassie or Elmarin Tin Tin.

You did say...

 Let's hope my shots do this old-timer justice....

I'll be interested to see what you an do with it!

Me too. Change for the better weatherwise expected on Monday... f8 and be there.
