ZEISS Touit 2.8/50M for mirrorless APS-C system cameras from Sony (with E-mount), Black, 000000-2030-680

This lens really excellent one. I highly recommend this lens, it produces very sharp pictures. Compare to my previous Fujifilm 60mm macro lens, Zeiss is greater. Only one think I did not like in Zeiss lens which if your subject so close about 30mm from the front of the lens you may focus manually would be better

Haven't be able to put this to full use yet - shielding. But on first acquaintance, focuses sharply.

I felt the need to add this review as many Amazon reviews here are NOT for the 50mm lens! I have previously used the Fujifilm 60mm macro lens which was useless as a 'macro' lens! The Zeiss Touit is absolutely amazing, sharp and bright it auto-focusses well on my Fujifilm X-T5. If I ever have a failed image it will be my fault rather than the lens.

Tried this against Fuji's 35mm f1.4, dozens of frames shot, tripod-mounted. Took the memory card home, compared the results, returned in the afternoon and bought the Fuji (and the X-E1 body); Absolutely no doubt whatsoever which was the better lens despite the camera shop pushing the Zeiss very hard. The Zeiss was heavier, slightly imperfect in fit and finish and, more importantly, was MUCH more varied in it's performance across different apertures and noticeably less convincing when it came to edges and corners. Auto focus much slower and noisier - and this is critical: AF isn't an X-series strong point (accuracy, yes, speed, NO.), so nothing that compromises that is a good idea and I'm afraid this does, leaving aside the fact that Zeiss has no kind of track record with autofocus. I DID see why the Zeiss appealed - it did to me! It was heavier in the hand, reinforcing the idea of perceived value. It has a certain matt-black brutal simplicity to it's styling. It was £200 more expensive; Had to be better, no? And, of course, it had the Zeiss name, something spoken of with awed, almost religious fervour. Let's face it, when it comes to bragging rights, the owner of the Zeiss wins. If you care about such things. Yet there are lots of these new Zeiss lenses on the second-hand market, not only for Fuji, either - Canon and Nikon, too. For Zeiss, this is a budget lens (YES, REALLY!), but it must tell you something when it used to sell for somewhere around £700 and now goes for £520. The Fuji has stayed - more or less - at £470, and makes no special claims. Perhaps it should, though, because quietly unassuming it may be, the comparison images that came up on my screen that day did not need to be squinted at.

I had to upgrade my camera firmware before this lens would focus, once that was done it worked really well. The lens is very light and is easy to use. It works on auto focus very well and I’m really pleased with it.

I was drawn to this lens in part because, in a "previous life" when I was doing film photography, I owned a Contax system with those beautiful Carl Zeiss lenses. When I switched to the Fujifilm digital ecosystem, I all but forgot about it. The Zeiss 32mm f/1.8 came to my attention as a bridge to my former Contax system. I was a bit reluctant to purchase it because the reviews were not very favourable and the lens is very pricey. But after just a few days of using it, I was astonished by the image quality, the colour saturation and this overall "Zeiss signature". Although technically it is not quite as sharp as the Fujifilm 35mm f/1.4, it has this undeniable character that make Zeiss lenses so special. The colour rendition in particular is exceptional. The autofocus is fast and quiet, and overall this is a lens I strongly recommend.

mooie lens , met flair

L'ho preso perché ad un prezzo veramente vantaggioso con un po' di perplessità ma avendo già visto numerose prove che ne decantavano i pregi ed i difetti ma devo dire che me ne sono innamorato: la luminosità è più che sufficiente, lo sfuocato (bokeh) a mio parere bellissimo e la nitidezza spettacolare, dà il meglio di sé nel bianco e nero ma i colori sono i tipici Zeiss. Ammetto di essere un fan di Zeiss ma sicuramente non mi lascio abbindolare dal nome, è veramente un osso! =) E' perennemente attaccato alla mia XT4 a cui rende giustizia sia nella precisione sia nella velocità dell'autofocus: certo non sarà fulmineo come il mio Fuji 16-55 f2.8 ma non mi sono mai pentito delle performance. Insomma, lo amo e sono orgoglioso di avere un disegno ottico così iconico (con caratteristiche tipiche dell'immagine) da abbinare alle prestazioni della mia amata Fuji. Senza nulla voler togliere al nativo 35 1.4, se vi capita un'occasione come la mia non fatevelo sfuggire.

Verwende das Zeiss 32mmm seit drei Wochen und es ist inzwischen zu meinem Lieblingsobjektiv an der X-Pro 1 geworden. Daneben kommen noch die Fujinon 60mm und 14mm zum Einsatz. Ebenfalls excellente und empfehlenserte Optiken. Das Zeiss jedoch hat es mir ganz besonders angetan. Das Design ist klar und gelungen. Es ist leicht - wer will für eine Fuji X schon einen Pflasterstein - und die Mechanik ist eben ganz "zeiss". Auf Tests in sog. Fachzeitschriften gebe ich schon lange nichts mehr, da hier politische und strategische Entscheidungen mehr eine Rolle spielen. Je nachdem, werden Laborergebnisse entsprechend gewichtet. Man darf gespannt sein, was so alles über das touit 32mm gechrieben wird. Die Schärfe ist überragend, bereits bei Offenblende, ab Blende 4 so richtig knackig. Auflösungsvermögen, Farbwiedergabe - einfach phantastisch. Ein Objektiv, dass den Sensor der Fuji X-Pro/X-E1 ausnutzen kann. Ich setze einen 2x Graufilter an der X-Pro ein, weil bei guten Lichtverhältnissen schnell höhere Blendenwerte als 4 eingesetzt werden müssen (200 ISO an der X-Pro 1). Es ist gerade die Darstellung des Unschärfebereichs (Bokeh), der das Objektiv so auszeichnet und Aufnahmen entstehen lässt, die sich abheben von anderen optischen Darstellungen. DAs rechtfertigt eine Verwendung von Zeiss. Ich fotografiere Landschaften und Stilleben. Zu über 50% setze ich inzwischen das Zeiss ein. Das 60mm und 14mm sind den Spezialaufgaben vorbehalten. Ich kann die Optik nur empfehlen.

I bought it because it had become a little cheaper. It is surprisingly sharp and the color rendering is also excellent. The images have a three-dimensional effect that makes the subject appear to jump out. I wonder why everything I take a picture of turns out to be so picturesque. While the 35mm from Fujifilm also creates a nice atmosphere, if you want to take sharp photos, Zeiss is recommended. As a result, I ended up getting all three lenses from the Touit series. The 12mm and 50mm are also very good lenses.
