sharpness does not improve even
their availability is quite limited
Bokeh on the Sigma is a little harsh
lack of corner sharpness and CA's
Sony E mirrorless cameras
relatively slow and noisy
Zeiss rangefinder lenses
it turns too easily and as such also accidentally
The AF is comparatively slow
The aperture ring is a bit too loose for my taste
the lens has a pretty old and fairly noisy motor
the lens is not weather-sealed
seems to have a lot of flaring against bright light
The AF system of this lens is outdated
slow speed is present on all bodies as of this time
The lens hood is plastic which is a bit disappointing
Wide open the lens is a tad bit soft
sharpening much in post production
much to see on this lens
any buttons or dials to fiddle with
lack of tactile feedback is a bit odd
the lens tended to hunt a bit in lower light
lacking on the focus ring
The rubber just makes it difficult to feel the ring moving
Zeiss lens is inferior to the Fuji lens

The Zeiss Touit 1.8/32 is a fast, sharp lens for Sony and Fujifilm mirrorless cameras, but it's more expensive than the competition.
