Key Features
- Sony E-Mount Lens/Full-Frame Format
- Aperture Range: f/5.6 to f/22

- Rectilinear, Non-Fisheye Design
A truly wide-angle prime, the Ultra Wide-Heliar 12mm f/5.6 Aspherical III from Voigtlander is dedicated to full-frame Sony E-mount cameras, and features an updated Heliar design to render a rectilinear image, limit distortion, and maintain consistent sharpness and illumination to suit mirrorless camera designs. One aspherical element is employed in the 12 elements, 10 groups optical design to control spherical aberrations and distortions throughout the aperture range. The lens also uses a manual focus design to permit fine-tuned control over focus placement, with a minimum focusing distance of 11.8", and a Selective Aperture Control System allows you to de-click the manual aperture ring for smooth, silent exposure adjustment to suit filmmaking applications.

question
Possibly a dumb question: can I out a filter on this lens or because of the shape of the glass, is that impossible? Thank you.
You can use the Nissi filter holder system for this.

question
Can this lens accept filters?
The lens has a built-in hood and no filter thread. Accordingly, any filter must be attached externally, e.g., Lee System - but I haven't tried it.

question
I have and LOVE the Zeiss Batis 18. However, I want something wider and am looking at both the 10 and 12 mm. I am admittedly spoiled by the IQ-- color and sharpness of the Batis-- and want something comparable. How does the IQ of this lens compare to the Batis? Thank you.
The image quality is good at all apertures on my copy , but I don't have a Batis to compare it with.
