Black Zeiss Touit 2.8/12 Wide-Angle Camera Lens for Fujifilm X-Mount Mirrorless Cameras Review

Got pros: Unique in sharpness, micro-contrast and color reproduction width. Fast autofocus. Beautiful bokeh. Awesome construct. Its cons: Too high price, alas. But there is always a price to pay for Zeiss.

. The lens is so sharp for macro photography and portraits. Zeiss is never cheap. With lenses, you absolutely get what you pay for. Well built and feels great when adjusting the aperture. I use photos of rings and details for the wedding and I have no regrets.

We often read that macro lenses need to be long to provide a sufficient working distance. Recommended Sony 90mm macro lens (which I also have). But it is difficult. 90% of the time I need a macro, I use the Zeiss 50mm Touit. Its working distance is sufficient, it is light and compact. And the picture quality is amazing!

It's not as sharp as my wide open Fuji 16mm 1.4 lens but I still like it a lot and the IQ output is still high quality. Build quality doesn't feel as solid as my Fuji lens, but it's ok because I LOVE the lightness of this lens. It's not plastic, it just feels a lot lighter, which is good because I don't want all my lenses to be huge and heavy.

This is a lens sleeper. Very sharp and popular bokeh in macro shots with shallow depth of field. I still play around with the lens, but it's a keeper for me. It hunts in autofocus, but most macro shots are taken in manual mode. I'll try this with some extension tubes just for fun and see what happens. Very light lens. The build quality is good but the weight is not too heavy.

This lens is fantastic, I use it on my XT1 for a lot of live photos where I can get a few feet close to the stage. Sharpness and colors are fantastic. This is the best lens I have for my Fuji arsenal and I have a 23mm and a 56mm. It focuses better than those lenses, and the XT1 doesn't focus well, especially in low light. Worth every penny. If you are reading this review, don't waste your time and just get it.

Pros: Zeiss Pop1.8 maximum aperture Stylish looks (lens only) Allows nice pictures Cons (v2 firmware): Noisy AF Slow AFAF causes the lens/camera vibrates noticeably Glitch Constant clicks in AF-C Ugly lens hood Manual focus isn't smooth - drive-by-wire on a DC motor I really wanted this lens to be liked as the equivalent of 50mm FF on APS-C, and it's great , but I can't use it for much other than photos of - all the autofocus issues. And if I was just taking photos, I'd prefer a manual focus…

At first I only used it for photos, not videos. Another thing is that I'm an ordinary everyday amateur and not a pixel scout. When I was looking for a new camera form factor, the quality of the end result was very important to me. So much so that I quickly settled on the Nikon J4. It was good but not suitable for my specific needs. So I switched to Sony. My first thought was Sony's E-mount Prime, the SE20F28, which as the name suggests is 20mm/2.8. However, the 30mm equivalent felt a bit wider…

This lens has been around for a while, but as it's relatively rare I thought I'd share a few thoughts. Introduced in 2013 at a sobering price of $1,250, it was both one of Zeiss' first autofocus lenses and the straightest wide-angle prime lens available with Fuji X and Sony E mounts. Honest reviewers rightly rated it. for optical performance and build quality that fell short of the gold standard of other established Zeiss lenses, and for the money it was hard to recommend compared to the…

This rating relates to the Zeiss 50/2.8 Fuji X-Mount lens. It is made in Japan. I shoot with Fuji X-T4 and Fuji X-T200. Bought this lens for street photography, portraits and close-ups. All lens functions work correctly with both cameras. Aperture clicks are more positive than Fuji lenses. It weighs 10 ounces. I've been using Zeiss lenses since my Zeiss Ikon Contina Folding 45mm/f2.8 Tessar. They then used Contax cameras with lenses made by Zeiss (Japanese). I think Zeiss lenses are well…
