The video on top has been made by SAR reader Arthur Fritz. The good news is that the Zeiss Touit is finally shipping! But it seems X-mount version is shipping first. You can find FUji versions right now in shoplink 18719 ebay]US (eBay)[/shoplink] and Europe (Holland).
It would help all SAR readers if you cna let us know where the Touit for NEX is in Stock. Send me an email or submit the deal at DealsRunner.com. That way your submitted deal will be displayed on the sidebar of this website and you don’t have to wait for me reading your mail and writing the post. Thanks!
P.S.: Zeiss Touit image samples at Optyczne.pl.

That lens looks REALLY good on the NEX-7.
Not sure what he meant to say when emphasizing that the 24mm was made by Sony. Hey, it’s a true Zeiss T* Sonnar lens manufactured with Zeiss quality standards and the best AF motor tech. Best from both worlds.
@spaceman, I only emphasized it because I was doing a lot of research. Zeiss wanted it known that they were separate from Sony. The 24mm 1.8 is an awesome lens, but Zeiss is not there during the manufacturing process. Sony does the Quality Assurance. These lenses were made by Zeiss in a different factory and overseen by Zeiss.
so, for 800+ euro, the lens does not come with a lens bag? wow..
Isn’t that usually the case? Unless it’s like 1.5k+?
I don’t have many expensive lenses so I’m sure I’m wrong..
Well my Zeiss (SEL) 24mm/1.8 had a nice pouch along with a part metal lens hood coming with it. It costed around €700 and in Denmark the Touit Distagon is €1000+
like the guy above me said: the 24mm zeiss has a nice bag/pouch coming with it. not sure what the habit is for zeiss lenses, since that’s the only one i have.
Zeiss lenses never come with pouches or bags. Do not know why? I guess it is just what they do. The Sony branded Zeiss always come with bags because they are manufactured by Sony and branded with the alpha logo.
Roger Cicala did an interesting comparison against SEL-30F18: http://www.lensrentals.com/blog/2013/05/finally-got-around-touit
…and this unboxer is named Fritz, but can’t read German, whow 😀
Yes, my last name is Fritz. Just because I was born with a name that originates from a certain country does not mean I automatically speak that language. Thanks for making me chuckle though.
All I want to know is if the A-Mount Zeiss is better than the E-Mount.
