Carl Zeiss Touit Distagon T* 12mm f/2.8 Lens Review

Carl Zeiss Touit Distagon T* 12mm f/2.8 Verdict

This first foray into making lenses for Fuji, as well as Sony compact system cameras from Carl Zeiss shows promise. They've managed to produce a lens with optical characteristics worthy of the Zeiss reputation, that's well designed and solidly built. Although this lens does carry a premium price, the additional cost isn't so much that it will put this lens beyond the reach of everyone, especially those serious about using quality glass with their camera.

	The Carl Zeiss Touit Distagon T* 12mm f/2.8 has excellent sharpness and solid build.
