The Leitz 55-135mm f/3.5-4.5 APO-Vario-Elmar-TL is a telephoto zoom designed for Leica's TL bayonet mount, used on the APS-C mirrorless T, TL, TL2 and CL bodies. As an APO-corrected variable-aperture zoom, it was aimed at portrait, travel and short-telephoto reportage work on the Leica APS-C system.

Sales data for this lens is thin: a single UK auction hammer result of £650 in May 2024 is the only verified data point we hold, and as an auction figure it represents the wholesale level achieved in the saleroom rather than a retail asking price. With one sale on file, that £650 figure is best treated as a rough indicator of what a clean copy is worth today rather than a firm market price, and the value of any individual example will move with condition, accessories and bidder interest on the day.
