Exterior construction

edit

The lens features a minimalist matte-black plastic exterior with a Zeiss badge on the side of the barrel and a rubber focus ring.

Optics

edit

The Touit 1.8/32 has "impressive" resolution, low chromatic aberration and "very good" bokeh.[3] Uncorrected, it has 2% barrel distortion and fairly high vignetting.[3]

Autofocus

edit

The lens has a direct current focus motor,[4] and according to Jamiya Wilson of The Phoblographer, focuses "quickly and accurately", and "very quietly".[5]
