In this episode of Red Dot Forum Camera Talk, Leica experts David Farkas and Josh Lehrer will be breaking down common (and not so common) Leica lingo. From Summilux and Super-Elmar to Messsucher and Visoflex, they'll offer up clear and concise meanings behind Leica camera and lens terminology. As always, feel free to send questions ahead of time to youtube@reddotforum.com or ask us live during the show.
