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 is reversible and clicks positively into place. I chose this lens over the 14mm Fuji because of cost and weight. These Zeiss Touit lenses (both 12mm and 32mm) seem to go on sale frequently, so I would be careful not to buy one at the regular price.Read full review

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: Premium price for Zeiss name and Zeiss quality Electronic focus-by-wire focusing (I prefer mechanical focusing) No distance scale printed on lens barrel Not weather resistant Plastic, petal, bayonet lens hood (I prefer metal, round, screw lens hoods) No image stabilization Large size Read full review

Excellent wide angle lens for photos
The Zeiss Touit 12MM is an excellent wide angle lens for still photography but it is not meant to be used for video......it can be used for video but the autofocus is noise prone and it will hunt using certain focus modes. I use the Sony A6500 camera and I have this lens and the 55MM 1.8 along with the Sigma 18-35 and a couple of Minolta legacy lenses. The Touit 12 is a recent purchase and it meets my needs for a wide angle lens. I love using it for car shows, inside home shots and areas that need the coverage such as wanting to show attendance at political rallies or sports arenas. It is the widest coverage NON Fish eye lens I have seen so far and it has that legacy Zeiss 3/D image quality. It is a lens that you should give some thought to purchasing as many people will not really need such a wide lens. This lens is Wide....really wide. It is meant for crowds....wide open spaces....city building shots.....and other large coverage needs. It is not meant for video. It is not a good video lens in some situations. It takes practice to use it in video and when mastered, can and will be a really good video lens.....It just takes practice and experience....it is not a take it out of the box and shoot with it lens. I recently decided to use this lens all week on my A6500 and that allowed me to learn what this lens is good for and how to set it up for video. After this last week, I have found that this lens meets the Zeiss image quality bar and then some. Sharp as a tack and when set up properly for video, a very good video lens for situations that require wide and I mean wide angle coverage. I just has a learning curve and most people who sell it after a while just did not spend enough time using it.Read full review

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.

Absolutely stunning image quality
Zeiss glass is unbeatable. Incredible level of micro contrast provides crisp colors and 3D like subject "pop". Resolution is sharp all across the frame. Very low distortion thanks to precise optical correction which is superior to most other super wide angle lenses for Fuji which rely heavily on digital correction to control distortion. The Zeiss is surprisingly lightweight and easy to carry. Build quality is top notch with a metal body and precise focus and aperture controls.
