The ZEISS Batis 18mm f/2.8 is an ultra-wide prime lens crafted for full-frame Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras, making it perfect for a range of wide-angle photography applications including architecture, landscapes, interiors, and astrophotography. This lens features a Distagon optical design that incorporates a combination of aspherical and anomalous partial dispersion elements to minimize chromatic aberrations, color fringing, and distortion. The result is clear, sharp, and color-accurate imagery, even in challenging shooting scenarios. Additionally, the floating elements system ensures consistent image quality throughout the entire focusing range, from 9.8 inches to infinity.

A standout feature of the Batis series is the integrated OLED display, which provides real-time data on focus distance and depth of field. This allows photographers to make quick adjustments, even in low-light conditions, ensuring they never miss a shot. The lens is also equipped with linear motors for fast, precise, and virtually silent autofocus, making it ideal for both still photography and video recording. In addition to autofocus, a rubberized manual focus ring offers a tactile feel for more detailed adjustments.

The Batis 18mm f/2.8’s f/2.8 aperture performs well in low-light conditions, making it ideal for astrophotography, and offers excellent control over depth of field. The lens’s ZEISS T* anti-reflective coating reduces reflections, enhancing contrast and color fidelity. Its durable dust- and moisture-sealed design ensures that the lens can be used reliably in harsh environments, providing photographers with a versatile tool for a wide range of outdoor and indoor shooting conditions.
