Carl Zeiss Touit 12 mm f/2.8
11. Summary
- high quality casing made mostly of metal,
- great resolution in the frame centre,
- good resolution on the edge of the frame,
- negligible chromatic aberration,
- spherical aberration corrected in a right way,
- slight astigmatism,
- efficient autofocus.
Cons:
- distinct coma at the maximum relative aperture,
- high vignetting,
- work against bright light could have been better.
The Zeiss Touit 2.8/12 is a well made lens and its parameters make it fill the gap in the Sony NEX and Fujifilm X systems. It would be difficult to have any real objections to a lens which provides an angle of view of almost 100 degrees and useful images across the frame already up from the maximum relative aperture.

You can only hope Zeiss won’t stop after producing the 2.8/12 and 1.8/32 models; we do hope it will present other mirrorless instruments in the near future. We also count on the fact that, as a part of an offer-enlarging strategy, sooner or later Zeiss will produce lenses with Samsung NX and Canon M mounts so they will fit other APS-C sensor systems as well.
