PRE-ZEISS FOCUS
ZeISS has launched its
fastest and widest lens to date for a mirrorless camera. The new autofocus
Zeiss Batis 18mm f/2.8 E-mount lens is designed to be used with Sony’s Alpha 7
series. It will also work with smaller-sensor models such as the Alpha 6000 and
the new Alpha 6300. Like all Batis lenses, focusing distance is viewable on an
OLED on the lens barrel. The aperture range is f/2.8-22 and the minimum
focusing distance is 9.8 inches. The Batis 2.8/18 accepts 77mm filters, there’s
a rubberised focus ring for when you wish to manually focus the lens, and it’s
weather-sealed.
