Zeiss Touit 2.8/12 12mm
Delivering a 99-degree angle of view on APS-C, the 12mm focal length and T* anti-reflective coating produce high-contrast images with saturated colors even in challenging light. Its lightweight 260g build and robust metal barrel make it a durable, portable option for wide-angle shooting. This lens is best for landscape and architecture photographers who need edge-to-edge sharpness and a compact prime for Sony E-mount or Fujifilm X-series bodies.
