Best lens name

[KoNickon]

The camera I design will be called The Dogmatic.
I haven't come up with a name for the lens yet.

There is a lens called the Dogmar -- I can't recall which maker, offhand. Whether it was a dog or was dogmatic, I do not know.

Courtesy of Jason Schneider: Tomioka Tri-Lausar. An honest name for the mediocre triplet lens found on the Pigeon 35 camera.

This is the other one I was thinking of.

it is interesting how many end in -on or -ar. Linguists may have theories?

Always gravitated to the lux & sonnars
Be it in the ‘sound’ & meaning of the Word or just for pure Glass !

I always appreciated the thread named 'The Summar of Love'.

I like the Nock bunch, Nocktilux, Nockton, somehow could become lyrics for a rap tune.

Oh, and I also like Super-Angulon. If there was ever a name that describes what a lens does, that has to be it.

Old brass lenses -- some of my favorites:

Steinheil Gruppen Antiplanet
Goerz Lynkeiskop (Goerz later made the Dogmar, Celor, Syntor, Dagor, and Hypergon -- they rival Voigtländer for great names)
Aldis Butcher
Staley Nulli Secundus
Staeble Tachyplast
Hermagis Lynx de Nuit
Roussel Antispektroscopique
Darlot Objectif d'Artiste

No one mentioned the Hermagis Perlynx yet?

Is that different than the Hermagis Lynx?

Those two are my choice as contenders for Best Lens Name Ever.

They made a Hellynx too.

Perlynx is 12.5mm f 2.5 for an 8mm camera
