Subject: [Leica] Probably a silly question....

FLE is Zeiss.
You'll not find it on a Leica box nor on a lens.
Just think of it as "Fleiss".

In Nikonian its "CRC".
That is short for the Nikonian term: close range correction.
A Canonite would see "Float"

In Leicaneese it's "floating element".
Leica has made no attempt to acronyminate the floating element concept.
Or they are treading water on the subject.


According to my on line translator
FLOATING ELEMENT:
French:     ?l?ment flottant
Icelandic: flj?tandi ??ttur  (they make great glass, but it melts in the
summer)
Russian:    ????????? ???????
Spanish: elemento flotante
Swedish: flytelementet
Finnish:    kelluva elementti (notice its not even close to Swedish!?)
Yiddish:    ????????? ???????  (notice its not even close to Finnish!?)
