Zeiss Touit 32mm f/1.8

Excellent Sharpness, But Lacks Stabilization And F/Stops Not Firm Enough Superb sharpness with the Fuji XE-1, but only shortcoming is the lack of Fuji supplying in-body stabilization a la the Lumix GX7, which I own and use with Olympus lenses having in-lens stabilization. As a result, the Zeiss lens with the XE-1 is limited pretty much to the same shutter speed limitation that one would have with a film camera using a normal (42-57mm) lens, perhaps 1/15th at ISO200? Slower speeds require at least a surface underneath, and certainly a tripod. Other shortcomings: f/stops are too easily moved off the aperture choice. I find myself often looking through the viewfinder and seeing that I have dropped or gained one or more f/stops because I have inadvertently moved the aperture ring off the chose f/stop.

awesome product! reasonable price, worth to invest! The build quality of the Touit is very good thanks to a tightly assembled combination of (mostly) metal and plastic parts based on a metal mount. The physical length remains constant although there's an inner lens tube that moves during focusing. The Zeiss provides a dedicated aperture ring at the rear of the lens. Several users criticized that it turns too easily and as such also accidentally. We tend to agree here although there's no wobbling whatsoever. The focus ring is nicely rubberized and operates smoothly. A plastic lens hood is supplied.

Typical excellent zeiss product Very well built tho bigger than comparable fuji lens, excellent sharpness and color rendition. ?Rubberized exterior which I find easy to grip, useful lens hood. More expensive than fuji when new, price differential about equalized now.
