Affording an especially broad, 18mm equivalent field of view, the FUJIFILM X-mount Touit 12mm f/2.8 from ZEISS is a prime wide-angle lens well-suited for landscape, architecture, and interior shooting. A sophisticated Distagon optical design includes two aspherical elements and three low dispersion elements, which help to control a variety of aberrations, distortion, and color fringing in order to produce sharp, well-corrected imagery. A floating elements system is used, too, to maintain consistent image quality throughout the focusing range. Individual elements also receive a ZEISS T* anti-reflective coating to suppress flare and ghosting for greater contrast and color accuracy when working in strong lighting conditions. Additionally, suiting both photo and video use, this lens incorporates a DC autofocus motor to deliver especially fast, quiet, and precise focusing performance.
- X-Mount Lens/APS-C Format
- 18mm (35mm Equivalent)

ZEISS Touit 12mm f/2.8 Reviews
Fantastic Lens
I haven't used Zeiss lenses since my film days with my Hasselblad medium format cameras. Recently, I wasn't wowed using a 100mm Zeiss on my Leica M 11, but am totally overwhelmed by the Touit 12mm f/2.8. It is a perfect choice for my Fuji X-T50. It responds perfectly to my settings and the photographs are consistently as sharp as I want them. I recommend this lens to you without any reservation.
Zeiss does it right
I've owned numerous Zeiss lenses over the years and they have always been stellar. I might have given this 4.5 because the aperture ring isn't stiff enough and will sometimes move but it's optically fabulous. At normal working distances it's very good/excellent right to the corners from f4.0-11.0. Center is razor sharp throughout. Unless you're doing big enlargements (which I do) it's good wide open too. I shoot full time for my living so my gear is important. Not sure how it would be wide open in the corners for something like astrophotography. I don't use it for that. It's beautiful aesthetically, especially with the matched hood. Additionally I had to give it back a half star for it's performance shooting infrared. That's a niche thing but I shoot a lot of infrared. I use it on Fuji bodies (X-T5) and Fuji doesn't have much in ultra wide that is both good with standard photography AND infrared.
