Features

Smooth and Reliable Autofocus

The autofocus system requires extremely accurate shifting of particular lens groups. The focusing system is designed to provide a robust and smooth-running autofocus mechanism while maintaining high imaging performance.

Versatile Full-Frame Lenses

The ZEISS Batis 2.8/18 is designed for Sony's mirrorless full-frame system and meets the high requirements of professional photographers. Its compact design combines with the performance expected from a high-quality full-frame lens.

Weather and Dust Sealing

The lens features protection designed to keep out dust and spray water, making it suitable for critical outdoor conditions. It is also designed for many years of intensive use.

Innovative OLED Display

The OLED display on the lens allows the focus distance and depth of field to be read accurately and intuitively. It provides excellent readability, especially in poor light conditions.

Excellent Resolution and High Contrast

ZEISS combines specially developed technologies to reduce undesirable stray-light effects within the optical system. This helps maintain high contrast, rich colours and vivid images.

ZEISS Batis 2/40 CF with Close Focus Function

The Close Focus (ZF) function of the ZEISS Batis 2/40 CF allows sharp focusing on objects at extremely close range. Its closest focusing distance is 24 centimeters, and the lens automatically stops down when it is a short distance from the object to help maintain high contrast and resolution across the focus range.
