Key Features
  • Sony E-Mount Lens/Full-Frame Format

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.

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.
Asked by: Diane
You can use the Nissi filter holder system for this.

question

Can this lens accept filters?
Asked by: marc a.
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.
Asked by: Diane
The image quality is good at all apertures on my copy , but I don't have a Batis to compare it with.
