With an angle of view of 99 degrees, the Touit 2.8/12 wide-angle lens will soon become a firm favourite, particularly for landscapes & architectural photography. Its unique T* multicoating guarantees maximum transmission & outstanding absorption of extraneous light. The result: breathtaking image quality from edge to edge & corner to corner of the entire image field. What’s more, all moving parts of the Touit 2.8/12, conceived specifically for Sony NEX & Fujifilm X Series cameras, are engineered for extreme precision & a long working life. & finally, its strong & rigid metal bayonet mount makes it an absolutely dependable companion for many years to come. Distagon Design When the angle of view becomes extreme, the retrofocus design of the Distagon lens can also be the ideal choice when the camera is not an SLR. Distagon lens types possess the low, image-sided, raypath angles that are particularly favorable for use with digital image sensors & also guarantee an extremely homogeneous distribution of brightness across the image field. Innovative product design Innovative product design to ensure superior handling & fulfil the most stringent aesthetic expectations. ZEISS lenses are among the winners of the several thousand products entered for prominent design awards. The unmistakeable new product design is based on an integrative concept & focuses on essential functional elements. Even the lens hood, typically an accessory, is seamlessly integrated into the overall design. The metal bayonet mount guarantees extreme rigidity & rubberised setting rings enable precise manual control when needed. Flush-fitting, satinised surfaces visualise the optical & mechanical precision of each lens. Aspherical design The aspherical lens design ensures consistent imaging performance throughout the entire focusing range as well as sharpness to the periphery of the image. The asphere's more complex surface profile can reduce or eliminate spherical aberration & also reduce other optical aberrations compared to a simple lens. Floating Elements Design Today’s camera technologies & high-resolution sensors demand continuous improvement of lens performance. Thanks to the use of the latest floating element design principles, optical aberration effects in ZEISS lenses are reduced to a minimum throughout their entire focusing range. This is achieved by variation of the axial distance between individual lens elements or groups. This adjustment of the lens-to-lens distance is coupled to the distance setting to ensure correct compensation at all times. The mechanical construction of these lenses is extremely complex & they must be assembled with utmost precision – both of which are key competencies of ZEISS. Excellent resolution & high contrast Rich, vibrant colors are vital to creating a lasting impression. Stray light in the lens, however, would lead to a brightening of the image, which is particularly visible in shadow areas. Image contrast is lowered; the image appears dull & bleached. We combine various, elaborate techniques to reduce unwanted stray light. Carl Zeiss T* anti-reflective coating The optical elements of ZEISS lenses feature T* anti-reflective coating on all surfaces & an optical design that guarantees images of superior brilliance at all times, even in unfavourable lighting conditions. We apply the anti-reflective coating to the lens surfaces by the vapour deposition of extremely thin, transparent layers on the glass. In this process, special substances are vaporized with extremely high energy in a high-vacuum environment & are subsequently deposited on the glass surfaces, one after another, as layers with precisely controlled thicknesses to achieve the desired reduction of reflective properties. The first coating techniques were employed by Carl Zeiss as long ago as in the 1930s. ...

The best of two Worlds. Just like a 50 mm lens in 3.5cm photography, the Touit 1.8/32 offers the same angle of view as the human eye. However, optimised for use with APS-C format sensors, it is simultaneously a lens that is so light & compact that it can be taken along simply anywhere & everywhere you go. Whether you are shooting portraits, landscapes or spontaneous snapshots, you will never cease to be amazed by what a Touit 1.8/32 can tease out of your camera. It is quite simply the ideal companion for capturing perspectives & colour- & lighting moods in perfect pictures. Planar Design The Planar lens type is the most successful – & the most frequently copied – lens design of all time. It offers lens calculators numerous opportunities for almost complete correction of all optical aberrations, & is therefore even today the basis for the design & construction of modern, high-performance lenses. Modification of this proven, six-lens, basic design can achieve significantly enhanced performance for use with today’s image sensors.

The metal bayonet mount guarantees extreme rigidity & rubberised setting rings enable precise manual control when needed. Flush-fitting, satinised surfaces visualise the optical & mechanical precision of each lens. Full compatibility The ZEISS Touit lenses are designed & constructed specifically for use on Sony NEX & FUJIFILM X Series cameras with APS-C sensors. The lenses are therefore fully-compatible & support all camera functions, including autofocus. Ideal aperture characteristics Photographers want to lead the viewer through their images. Planes with minimum depth of focus are often employed as creative elements. For instance, the background is kept intentionally out of focus to lead the viewer’s eye to the actual subject of the image. The Touit lenses feature a nine-blade iris that closes to create an almost perfectly circular aperture. The effect of this is the creation of a particularly harmonious effect in the out of focus areas of the image (‘ Bokeh’). Smooth & reliable AF action The design of the autofocus system demands an extremely precise movement of certain lens elements. As the mass of the elements or groups to be moved within the optical system differs, various motor types may be installed. The focusing system of the Touit lenses is designed to guarantee robust & smooth autofocusing without any need for compromises or limitations in their optical design. Note: To reach the best compatibility on Sony NEX Cameras (AF in video mode) the latest Sony NEX firmware is recommended.

Touit 2.8/50M A perfectionist with an eye for the details. The delicate structure of a petal, the tiny hairs on a cat’s fur or the seductive lines at the corner of the eyes – whenever a shot is all about the minute details, the ZEISS Touit 2.8/50M will delight & inspire. It not only means that you can portray objects in their original size, but also provides for beautiful contrast between the pin sharp focus of the image & the softly sketched background thanks to its aperture of 2.8. The famous symmetric lens design invented by Dr. Paul Rudolph at ZEISS in 1896. The Planar lens is the most successful camera lens design – &, by the way, the most plagiarized – ever created. It provides the lens designer with numerous means to correct aberrations extraordinarily well. & its performance is very constant over a wide range of imaging ratios, enabling such a versatile lens variety as the Makro-Planar lens. The ZEISS Touit 2.8/50M lets you capture the smallest things & the tiniest details at their actual size. At its closest focusing distance, subjects sized 15x 23 mm fill the frame with an impressive maximum reproduction ratio of 1:1. The imaging performance of the ZEISS Touit 2.8/50M is just as exceptional at such short distances as it is at medium & long distances. Minimum distortion, outstanding correction of chromatic aberrations, minimal image field curvature & excellent correction of coma & astigmatism allow true-to-life reproduction of any subject, particularly in combination with the high resolving power of modern sensors. ...
