Leica 18-56mm f3.5-5.6 Vario-Elmar-TL 4352621

This Leica 18-56mm f3.5-5.6 Vario-Elmar-TL Asph Zoom Lens (Black), #4352621, is in good condition with some handling wear. I rate it cosmetically an (8). The focus and zoom rings are smooth, but the zoom ring makes some slight noise. The autofocus and aperture function properly, and the glass is clean and clear with no haze, marks, or fungus. There are a few faint specks of dust inside, but they do not affect image quality. This lens includes a Leica lens pouch, lens hood, front & rear caps, and the original box.
