Zeiss 32mm F1.8 Touit for Sony E

The ZEISS Touit lens range brings ZEISS quality and expertise to Sony E-mount and Fujifilm X-mount APS-C sensor camera systems. With fast, accurate autofocus and specially designed optics, these prime lenses deliver superb-quality images. Lightweight and compact in your kitbag with a metal lens barrel, they will nevertheless stand up to many years of use.

• Ideal tool for imaging real-life situations
• Fast and accurate autofocus function
• Lightweight yet sturdy barrel
• APS-C sensor format

The ZEISS Touit 32 mm lens on an APS-C camera is equivalent to a 50 mm lens on a full-frame sensor. This is the combination that results in the same angle of view as the human eye. The lightest lens in the Touit family - weighing in at just 200 g for the E-Mount and 210 g for the X-Mount - and less than 8cms long, it fits unobtrusively onto the camera, making the two together easy to carry with you wherever you go. It is always ready to impress you, for portraits, landscapes or spontaneous snapshots. The ZEISS Touit 1.8/32 is quite simply the ideal companion for capturing perspectives and colour and lighting moods in perfect pictures.

ZEISS T* anti-reflective coating - The optical elements of ZEISS lenses feature T*® anti-reflective coating on all surfaces and 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 and 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 ZEISS as long ago as in the 1930s.

Full compatibility - The ZEISS Touit lenses are designed and constructed specifically for use on Sony NEX and FUJIFILM X Series cameras with APS-C sensors. The lenses are therefore fully-compatible and 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 viewerâ??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.

Smooth and reliable autofocus - The design of the autofocus system requires an extremely accurate shifting of particular lens groups. The focusing system of ZEISS lenses is designed to ensure a robust and smooth-running autofocus mechanism with the best imaging performance.

Innovative product design - Innovative product design to ensure superior handling and 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 and 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 and rubberised setting rings enable precise manual control when needed. Flush-fitting, satinised surfaces visualise the optical and mechanical precision of each lens.
