This lens is worth every penny. I have it on a Fujifilm X-T5 body and it is superb. Go buy it now if you are even slightly considering it.

question

I don't see anywhere that it says the lens being sold is new. Is it new, sealed in the box and not a return or demo?
Asked by: Anonymous
All items in our inventory would be new, unless clearly stated otherwise on the item's page. And for the most part, no used or refurbished items will come up in a search unless you are specifically looking in our Used Department. That being said, this Touit 32mm f/1.8 Lens (Sony E-Mount) is a new lens.

question

If used on a Sony A7, would this lens require the camera to be used in crop mode ?
Asked by: Anonymous
You have the choice. You can use the lens on the camera and keep the full-frame aspect but with vignetting, or you can assign the camera to crop its sensor and optimize itself for use with this APS-C lens.

Will this lens work on an IR converted camera ...

Will this lens work on an IR converted camera without hotspots?
Asked by: Tom
The ZEISS Touit lenses are designed for the visible spectrum only and are not optimized for the spectrum between 700nm and 1000nm. Our recommendation is to rent the lens and test it on an IR modified Sony E or Fujifilm X camera before committing.
