This is a great addition to the LX3 giving a ultra-wide angle angle of view equivalent to 18mm on a full frame SLR. Be advised that you'll need the adapter tube as well and that the conversion lens is a bit large and heavy given how small the LX3 itself is. That said, it is probably the cheapest and lightest weight way to get ultra-wide performance. My Canon XTi and 10-22 cost and weigh a whole lot more! Optically the performance is excellent and keeps up with the LX3's already high quality output. If you are an ultra-wide junkie this lens will give you another excuse to leave your SLR behind. If you've never tried out ultra-wide this may be the least expensive way to do it, and you'll still get top notch results. I purchased thinking I'd try it and perhaps return it, but after a few weeks of use I'm definitely keeping it and it has become part of my standard walk-around kit.
