Zeiss Batis 18 f/2.8 announced

Hij,

I currently use a Sony A7RII + Sigma 15mm in a Nauticam housing, and I'm now looking for a WA alternative.

I was about to order the Sony 16-35mm FE f / 4 tthat is an excellent lens with existing configuration for Nauticam, but it may also be an idea to take a look at the new Zeiss Batis 18 f/2.8 that will be released in May, or what do you think?

I'll probably wait for some reviews before making a choice.

We'll test the lens behind available domes as soon as we can to see if it is any better than 16-35 /4, or 28 /2 with WWL-1. I have high hopes for the lens based on Touit 12mm. I'm also skeptical that it will have better corner sharpness than 28 with WWL, but that is a "different" combo having a bit of barrel distortion and a wider 130 deg FOV.

My quick WWL-1 tests with A7 v. 28 /2 & SEL-057FEC and 16-35/4.
