Abstract
The extreme difficulty of many essential optical and infrared observations of lens systems has impeded progress and contributed to the popular but erroneous view that lensing is a curiosity rather than an important astrophysical tool. Keck I, with its unprecedented sensitivity for spectroscopy and infrared imaging, will have a major impact on lensing observations.
