Touit 2.8/12 overview
The Zeiss Touit 2.8/12 is a 12mm f/2.8 prime for APS-C cameras on Sony E-mount and Fujifilm X, announced by Zeiss in April 2013. 38 cameras we track take it without an adapter.
Going by its spec sheet, it suits landscapes and interiors. It is a weaker pick for close-ups.
No store we track in Europe has it new in stock today; used and refurbished copies start at €334.79.
Worth comparing it with the Sigma 12mm F1.4 DC | Contemporary.
