The Zeiss Touit 12mm
f/2.8 Lens (Sony E-Mount) is a wide-angle prime lens designed specifically for
use on APS-C-sized image sensors, and as such provides a 35mm-equivalent focal
length of 18mm. This lens is compatible with Sony E mirrorless cameras and supports
all camera functions, including autofocus and exposure control.
The Distagon design of
this lens integrates a floating element design that includes two aspherical
elements and three partial-dispersion elements to reduce aberrations and
distortion to produce high image clarity, sharpness, and even brightness. Carl
Zeiss T* anti-reflective coatings have also been applied to all lens surfaces
to improve light transmission and image contrast by minimizing surface
reflections, lens flare, and ghosting.
The construction of the
lens features a metal lens barrel with rubberized control rings for high
precision when manually focusing. A rigid metal bayonet mount ensures accurate
alignment and a nearly circular nine-blade aperture works to produce an aesthetic
out-of-focus highlight quality.
Sony E Compatibility
Designed for use on Sony
E-mount APS-C mirrorless cameras and provides a 35mm-equivalent focal length of
18mm. The lens offers complete compatibility with all camera functions,
including accurate autofocus and exposure control. It features a wide f/2.8
maximum aperture that aids in low-light shooting as well as greater control
over the focus plane for shallow depth of field and selective focus
applications.
Optical Design
This lens features the Distagon
optical design with a floating element construction and includes two aspherical
elements and three partial dispersion elements to reduce chromatic aberrations
and distortion while offering increased sharpness and even illumination. Carl
Zeiss T* anti-reflective coatings have been applied to each lens surface to
help minimize reflections in order to provide greater image clarity, contrast,
and color fidelity.
Physical Design
The lens features a
rigid, durable metal barrel with rubberized control rings to provide improved
handling abilities. The metal bayonet mount ensures a solid connection between
the camera and lens, and a nine-blade, nearly circular aperture is used to
smoothly render out-of-focus highlights.
