Carl Zeiss unveils super-wide-angle optic for Canon cameras
Carl Zeiss has announced the upcoming release of 18mm Distagon T ultra-wide f/3.5 objective for Canon mounts - a year after the release of the Nikon and Pentax mounts
With a field of view of 99 degs, the Distagon T 3.5/18 ZE is a rectilinear lens, which provides dramatic perspectives for architectural, landscape and close-range photography for users of full-frame digital SLRs or film-based cameras.
The optic is designed with a floating element in the rear lens assembly, resulting in better image quality at all ranges. It uses Zeiss' T anti-reflective coating to prevent stray light artifacts and internal reflections.
Despite its short focal length, the lens has an extremely compact design compared to other zoom lenses in its category. The lens’ internal focusing mechanism also helps to reduce its size while delivering precise and smooth focus control, claims Carl Zeiss.
The Distagon T* 3,5/18 ZE will be available in autumn at a retail price of €1049 +VAT.
