I recently bought a new 50/2.8 and enjoy it for the same reasons you stated in your article. The name engraved on mine is "Elmar," as is all information from Leica regarding the lens. The photos accompanying your article show yours to be engraved "Elmar" also. I realize that, for the most part, the name assigned by Leitz/Leica to f/2.8 lenses is Elmarit but the 50/2.8 Elmar has been an exception. Just curious.
