Zeiss Batis 18mm f/2.8 Lens Review by 3D-Kraft: “Simply Amazing!”

In April Zeiss announce the new Batis 18mm f/2.8 super wide-angle lens which is specially designed for Sony full frame mirrorless camera. Consistently excellent image quality right into the corners makes the lens perfect for the challenges of, for example, landscape, astro and architectural photography.

3D-Kraft posted their Zeiss Batis 18mm f/2.8 lens review and below are their conclusion:

The Batis 2.8/18 demonstrates an impressive level of optical performance that can be achieved in a compact and lightweight mirrorless full-frame system. Although at the time of this writing there are no lens correction profiles available in Lightroom / Adobe Camera Raw for this super wide angle Batis, I see no demand for it as the results were almost free from distortion and vignetting. Only at open aperture you may see a need to correct some minimal CA at extreme contrast edges. Resolution, contrast and color richness are excellent even when you shoot against direct sun light. The autofocus works fast and reliable, it may be helpful especially at open aperture when playing with depth of field in the close-up range. This lens is simply amazing!
