ZEISS Batis 2.8/18

The super wide-angle lens for a new era

Taking advantage of the exciting possibilities of Sony3 mirrorless cameras, ZEISS Batis lenses are designed specifically to unleash the creative potential of full-frame sensors. If you are looking for E-mount lenses to give perfect image quality and which are robust enough to resist dust and spray water and offer not only super-fast, but quiet autofocus, then these lenses will deliver. The very large field of view on the ZEISS Batis 2.8/18 lens is an astonishing 99° diagonally. Combine this with a minimum focus point of 25 mm and you can get amazingly creative shots with unusual perspectives. The quality of the image from edge to edge makes this lens perfect for astrophotography, architecture and those wide open landscapes. The OLED display will tell you the focus point and depth of field to ensure you get exactly the result you want. The spray water and dust protection means you need not fear getting closer to the action, whatever the condition. Push the boundaries of what you thought you could shoot and the results will amaze you.
