I’ll be reviewing the lens on the left. Image from Zeiss’ website.
After a good long wait, some time today I’ll be receiving the brand-new Zeiss Touit 32mm f/1.8 for E-mount. I’ve been looking forward to this lens ever since catching wind of early rumors, and even more-so after finding it to be even cheaper than the Zeiss $1100 24mm f/1.8. After extended shooting with the Sony 35mm f/1.8 OSS, a lens I do like, I’ve found myself needing more sharpness and less lateral out-of-focus fringing at wider apertures. The Sony just isn’t cutting it on the resolution-monster NEX-7.
In steps the 32mm f/1.8, a lens Zeiss coins the “Magician of the Moment”. Sporting Zeiss’ proven “Planar” optical design, this lens may prove to be a powerful optical powerhouse in a compact design. I have extremely high hopes for this one. More to come soon. Depending on how much I can shoot with it day-of-arrival, I hope to have a hands-on video and/or some first impression photographs to share within the next couple days.

Fantastic lens! Congratulations. And, you went and got and APS-C lens in the end huh 😉
Good choice. Looking forward to your impressions 🙂
Well, Zeiss lenses hold their value at least a little better than other brands, so when the NEX FF does come, the 32mm will still fetch a pretty penny (provided I sell the 35mm OSS instead after reviewing the Zeiss).
Plus, you get to enjoy a fantastic lens. It’s really good from what I’ve seen. The rubber focus ring is awesome.
Oh man don’t get me started on that focus ring. If only it was geared, rather than by wire, I’d love it more than my best AI-s lens’ focus. My internet is being awfully slow, but I hope to get a hands-on post up later tonight.
