All the same - why are most lenses with a wide open aperturee of f 2.8 deemed "elmarit" but the collapsible 50 with a wide open aperture of f 2.8 is deemed the "elmar"? I thought "elmar" was reserved for lenses with wide open f-stops smaller than f 2.8, ie f 4 as in the tri-elmar. Did I miss something in the discussion posted not too long ago regarding which lenses carried certain designations? As always, thanks in advance.
