The Zeiss Batis Distagon T* 2.8/18mm is a full-frame (FE) wide-angle prime lens for the Sony E-mount, announced by Zeiss on April 14, 2016.[1]

The lens features a minimalist weather resistant plastic construction with a matte black finish and a rubber focus ring. On the top of the lens is the OLED display that highlights the focus distance and depth of field range of the lens, which can be set to display at all times, never, or only when focusing manually.
