Carl Zeiss unveils 18mm F3.5 lens for Canon DSLRs
Carl Zeiss has announced a new ultra-wide-angle lens for Canon EOS users: the Distagon T* 3,5/18.
While the focal length is only 18mm, the lens packs a lot in. With a 99°-angle view, the extremely wide-angle lens is meant for full-frame sensor cameras, especially for shooting landscape and architecture. The lens also features an anti-reflective coating so that it is not affected by reflections or stray light. The company promises that with this coating, the product will still deliver “razor-sharp images even under the toughest lighting conditions or with wide aperture settings.”
The Distagon lens be available later this fall with an estimated price tag of €1,049 ($1,528). Any Canon users interested in a new lens?
