The Leitz 18mm f/2.8 Elmarit-TL is a compact wide-angle prime lens designed for the Leica TL/CL APS-C mirrorless system using the L-mount bayonet. With an angle of view roughly equivalent to a 27mm lens on full-frame, it was built as a walk-around wide lens for street, landscape and travel use on the T, TL, TL2 and CL bodies.

The single hammer price recorded in our UK auction data is £475 in May 2024, which is the only data point available for current value guidance in 2026 and reflects a wholesale saleroom result rather than a retail figure. With only one sale on file, no meaningful range or median can be drawn, and clean examples with original hood, box and caps would typically sell for a premium over a stripped body-only copy. Buyers should cross-check against current dealer listings to gauge what a clean copy is worth today.
