The image quality is excellent wide open and stopped down. I believe it is based on the Zeiss 80-200 and made in Japan for Leica by Kyocera. It is a bit heavy and long. Some people don't like "two touch" zooms, and it can be confusing remembering which ring does what in the heat of battle. I have used the lens for both portraiture and general photography and it is excellent for both. Bill Rosauer
