Leica011-080 Vario-Elmar-T 18-56/f3.5-5.6 ASPH Large-Format Lens

I love this lens: came as "used" though I would be hard pressed to find any spot or sign of use. Perfect w/ 2 filters and a light case. Really enjoy it! Get one, you won't be worry!

Lenses was perfect, although made in Japan it still has the Leica quality. Looked brand new, as described.

Not 5-star but pretty good. I've had the T and this lens for two months. I've taken the T along with this lens on two major trips and shot nearly 1500 images (all with this lens). Let me start off by saying that this lens covers about 98% of the focal range I find most useful. I seem to have wide angle dyslexia and don't feel comfortable with a lens that is wider than this lens. Conversely, at the tele length, anything much over 90mm is too limiting a perspective. So, at a 35mm equivalent of 27-84, I find this lens to be nearly perfect for an everyday travel lens.The reason I have given this lens 4 out of 5 stars is because at the maximum tele length, the images exhibit a little less detail and crispness than I have experience with Leica glass. Specifically, I had an X Vario for about one year (sold to finance the purchase of this lens and the T) and I think that lens was more crisp at the tele length. I have shot this lens at all sorts of f-stops and find that 5.6 to 9 is the ideal range on the T (any more than f9, even pushing to f11 and diffraction sets in).Also, and parenthetically, I have found that shooting the T (again with this lens) using manual settings (f9, shutter speed of 200) and Auto ISO (with a range of 100-3200) so the camera is choosing an ISO to match the f9 aperture and 1/200 shutter speed to be the ideal setting for the most crisp shots this lens is capable of.Overall I'd probably give this lens 4.5 stars if that were possible. And I would very much recommend this lens to any prospective or current T owner.
