Zeiss Batis 18mm f2.8 Ultra-Wide Prime Lens (Sony E)

This Zeiss Batis 18mm f/2.8 lens in Sony E mount, is an high-quality, ultra-wide angle prime designed for both photography and video work. In particular, its wide angle of view makes it desirable for a wide range of applications, including, but not limited to interior, architectural, landscape, and astrophotography.  

Furthermore, the Zeiss Batis range of lenses can be easily distinguished by their innovative use of an OLED display on the lens barrel, which highlights the focus distance and depth of field range for quickly recognizing your focusing parameters. As an autofocus lens, linear motors are used to deliver quick, quiet, and smooth focusing performance to suit both stills and video applications. Additionally, the lens body also sports a dust- and moisture-sealed design to permit its use in trying environments.

Wide-Angle Prime for Everyday

Wide-angle prime is designed for full-frame Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras, however can also be used with APS-C models where it will provide a 27mm equivalent focal length. A bright f/2.8 maximum aperture suits working in available-light conditions and is also ideal for astrophotography use.

Distagon optical concept affords high sharpness, well-corrected image quality from edge-to-edge, and very low field curvature. 2 x aspherical elements, five elements made from anomalous partial dispersion glass, and a pair of aspherical elements also made from low dispersion glass are featured, and all contribute to significantly reducing chromatic and spherical aberrations, colour fringing, and distortion for improved clarity, sharpness, and resolution.

Zeiss T* anti-reflective coating has been applied to each lens surface to help minimize reflections and provide greater contrast and colour fidelity. Floating elements system helps to maintain consistent image quality throughout the entire focusing range, from 9.8-inches to infinity.

Integrated OLED Display

Integrated OLED display on the top of the lens shows the working focus distance as well as the depth of field range for quickly recognizing the parameters of focus in use, even when working in low-light conditions.

Linear motors benefit the autofocus performance of the lens and provide smooth, fast, and quiet operation. For manual focusing, a rubberized ring offers greater tactile control for precise placement of focus.

Dust and weather-sealed construction benefits using the lens in inclement shooting conditions.
