Zeiss Batis 18/2.8 E-mount

Originally developed for SLR cameras, which still require a long focal length due to the mirror box (the distance between the rear lens and the film plane must be much greater than the focal length), the Distagon lenses (retrofocus design) also show their strengths to full advantage in mirrorless system cameras due to their optimized beam path. As a result, outstanding imaging performance with large image angles is possible even with digital camera systems without mirrors.

Smooth and reliable autofocus

The design of the autofocus system requires extremely precise shifting of certain lens groups. The focusing system of ZEISS lenses is designed to guarantee a robust and fluid autofocus mechanism with the best imaging performance.

Versatile full-frame lens

This high-performance lens for Sony's full-frame mirrorless system meets the highest demands. Even with a compact design, the image result meets the expectations of professional photographers.

Excellent resolution and high contrast

Rich, vivid colors are a must for creating a lasting impression. However, stray light in the lens causes the image to brighten, which then becomes particularly noticeable in the shadow areas. The image contrast decreases and the image appears low in contrast and bleached out. For this reason, ZEISS brings together various specially developed techniques that reduce unwanted stray light.

Robust and weatherproof metal construction

Design measures to prevent dust and splash water from entering the lens make it perfect for demanding outdoor use. Plus, it's ready for years of intensive use.

Innovative OLED display

For the first time on a lens, you can easily and intuitively read focus distance and depth of field precisely on the OLED display. Especially in difficult lighting conditions the readability is always best guaranteed.
