About this product

Product Information

The Zeiss Touit 12mm f2.8 lens is a wide-angle prime lens that is suitable for APS-C-sized image sensors and offers a 35mm-equivalent focal length of 18mm. Although it is only compatible with the Fujifilm X-mount APS-C mirrorless cameras, it works seamlessly with the camera's functions, such as exposure control and autofocus. You can also use it in manual focus that works via a wire, which means you actually trigger the auto-focus motor when you manually turn the rings. The lens is equivalent to an 18mm full format. Because it offers an angle view of 99 degrees and a wide field of view, it is fast becoming a favorite for landscape and architecture photographers. But you can use it for more everyday purposes like portraits as well. Taking pictures in low-light environments is easier with the wide f2.8 maximum, and users will have more control in terms of the focus plane. The focal length is 12mm, and it weighs just 9.52 oz., which means it is a neat little tool to add to your gear. The Distagon design of this Carl Zeiss Touit utilizes a floating element design that prevents aberrations and distortion. Carl Zeiss T anti-reflective coatings have been applied to the lense surface to improve light transmission and image contrast. This minimizes surface reflections, flare, and ghosting. The lens is constructed from a metal barrel. The barrel's rubberized control rings allow you to manually focus for high precision shots. The metal bayonet mount keeps the lens securely attached to the camera. A nine-blade aperture will render out-of-focus highlights in your pictures. You may notice when you attach it that the Zeiss Touit 12mm is a notably short, stocky unit. The build quality is a tightly assembled combination of plastic and metal parts, based on a metal mount. A large plastic hood is supplied. The focus ring is rubberized, which really makes it comfortable to hold in your hand. With an angle of view of 99 degrees, making for one of the widest fields of view in APS-C format, this lens was designed for high quality wide angle photography. To enhance this, it has a unique Zeiss T multi-coating that gives maximum transmission and outstanding absorption of extraneous light. Expect images with edge to edge and corner to corner crystal clear sharpness and less of a depth of field. The Zeiss Touit 2.8 12mm was conceived specifically for Sony NEX and Fujifilm X series (this item is for the Fuji only) and engineered for extreme precision and a long working life. Made with landscapes and architectural photographers in mind, the Zeiss Touit f2.8 12mm wide-angle lens is an investment for those who want, or need, to take stunning photos with crisp details throughout. It is also a unique tool that can capture great wide shots for anyone interested in the technology. Its strong and rigid metal bayonet mount will guarantee wonderful wide angled shots for years to come.

    Super-Wide and Superb !

    This Zeiss 12mm lens uses the famous Distagon formula to achieve excellent superwide photos for both Fuji and Sony mirrorless cameras using the APS-C sensor. The equivalent full-frame focal length is 18mm. Sharpness, color rendition and focus accuracy are up to typical Zeiss standards. Although this lens is manufactured in Japan, the feel and build quality is German. Aside from the very loose f/stop ring (which clicks in 1/3 f/stops), which many other reviewers have mentioned, I can't find fault with this lens. The autofocus is quite fast and the auto exposure is accurate in all modes. The manual focus ring is quite smooth and quick. There is some edge distortion, which is typical for most high quality superwide lenses, but the results are easily corrected in post processing. The lens hood ...

  • Zeiss Quality

    Background: In my film only days, my widest lens was an 18mm f/3.5 lens that I used on my 35mm film cameras. When I began shooting digital on Fuji APS-C mirrorless cameras, I needed a 12mm lens to give me the same angle-of-view on the APS-C cameras that the 18mm had given me on 35mm cameras. The 12mm Zeiss f/2.8 Touit was one of the lenses I considered. Here are its pros and cons. Pro: Auto exposure Auto focus and Manual focus Maximum f/2.8 f-stop Handles backlit subjects well Handles flare well Excellent image quality Well-built Works well with my two f/2.8 Fuji zoom lenses (16-55 and 50-140mm) Uses same 67mm filters as my Fujinon 16mm Useful for shooting landscapes, events, external architecture, interior architecture, vehicle interiors, astronomy, and environmental portraits Con: ...

  • Fabulous ultra wide lens

    I am extremely pleased with the image quality this lens delivers with my Fuji X-E2. Most ultra-wides are great in the center but IQ deteriorates rapidly towards the outer edges of the image. Not this lens. Everyone complains about the aperture ring being to loose. It is. I'm surprised at Zeiss. You just have to be real mindful of that fact when you're using this lens by checking the ring itself or the f-stop displayed in the viewfinder/LCD. Otherwise and all-around excellent lens. Distortion is very well controlled. I have used plenty of 10-12mm lenses in my profession but none have been as good as this lens in image quality & distortion control. It's a real keeper. I highly recommend this lens!

  • Price the main negative

    This item is good value if you watch ebay carefully. Retail not so much unless you value the Zeiss name for its own sake. The non-AF Samyang 12mm is the principle competition. It costs way, way less, but manual focus and manual aperture. Image quality isn’t significantly different especially after LR (or other software) applies lens a correction profile. Good news is the lens has been out long enough that Ebay prices for a nice copy are getting more reasonable. That’s why I’ve decided I can upgrade from the Samyang to the Zeiss.

  • What You'd Expect From Zeiss

    This lens is particularly good for IR photography - no hotspots. That's rare for an ultra-WA lens. It also has very good IQ in visible light.
