Representing a normal field of view, the Sony E-mount Touit 32mm f/1.8 from ZEISS is a 48mm-equivalent prime characterized by its refined design and bright f/1.8 maximum aperture for low-light performance and depth of field control. The Planar optical concept is a tested design that yields consistently high sharpness throughout the focusing range with even illumination throughout the aperture range. Also, a ZEISS T* anti-reflective coating has been applied to individual elements to control lens flare and ghosting for improved contrast and color accuracy. Additionally, suiting both photo and video use, this lens incorporates a DC autofocus motor to deliver especially fast, quiet, and precise focusing performance.

ZEISS Touit 32mm f/1.8 Reviews
Simply a must
I use Zeiss glass on every camera system I use. The 32mm Touit is considered by many the weakest lens in the Touit lineup which is a shame because it's a true gem. It reminds me of the old Zeiss Contax G lenses but with a modern approach. The lens lives n my Fujifilm cameras.
What an excellent Zeiss lens!
Every characteristic is very positive.. I has some of that Zeiss look, and rez, colors, contrast, etc., are excellent.
does not live up the the zeiss legacy
My zeiss touit 32mm lens suffered from worse CA and color fringing than any other lens I owned in the similar focal range. The touit line of lenses are cheaply made and break at the slightest use. So much for lenses being a lifetime investment. You're lucky if you get a year of use out of it before the aperture siezes or the focus gives out.

Excellent
This is an excellent lens. I like the small size and it seems sturdy. Very sharp. B&H is replacing Amazon for me for photo equipment. Better to get this kind of stuff from a company that specializes.
AMAZING little lens!
I really can't say enough good about this lens. It's truly exceptional! The size may be compact, but it is packed with quality! The build is exceptional, not too heavy, but you can tell it is solid and made of premium materials. Just like you would expect from Zeiss. I have used this lens during weddings and professional portrait shoots and I am always thrilled with the results (and so are my clients). If you enjoy shooting right into the sun, this lens does produce some noticeable flaring, even with the hood attached. I personally enjoy it, as I feel it adds some character to some of the photos, but it's a personal preference and not necessarily something everyone will like. Just something to keep in mind. Also, the only other caveat is that the focusing motor is loud compared to most any other lens I've used. It's not as annoying as Sony's nifty fifty, but it is noticeable, so if you intend to use for video, I would only recommend it if you have an external microphone attached to your subject or if you plan on editing out the audio anyway. But for still, as long as you don't need a silent lens, this thing is remarkable and takes beautiful shots! I use this and the Zeiss 55mm as well as the Zeiss Batis 85mm for virtually all of my portrait work and couldn't be happier! The build is definitely on par with my Batis lens. Attached are a couple of photos. One with lens flare and one without. Hope that helps.
Love that Zeiss color!
I have some Fuji lenses (including the 23mm and 90mm f2) but decided to give this a try given the reputation of Zeiss lenses in general. I am so happy I did. This has become my most used lens almost from day one; I just simply get the most beautiful images in terms of color and sharpness. The Fuji lenses I have are very good but this lens simply has a quality to it, I am not getting out of those otherlenses. It is also super light despite being chunkier than the Fuji equivalents. Not always the fastest lens to focus, but that is not an issue for me.
Excellent
Great quality lens, decent bokeh.
