A unique tool designed to reveal beautiful details hidden in tight spaces, the Sony E-mount 18mm f/8 Macro Probe Lens from AstrHori features a 2:1 magnification ratio and waterproof probe extension with front-end illumination to bring the unseen world to light. The 2x magnification capability enables detailed close-ups, while the extension's slender, 0.9" diameter makes it ideal for fitting through slim openings and into small spaces. The optical structure consists of 23 elements in 17 groups and features an aperture range of f/8 to f/28. Taken all together, the wide-angle macro provides a broad depth of field that brings both the subject and its surroundings into focus for environmentally rich imagery.

The lens's durable and protective front element is crafted from sapphire glass, a material known for its hardness and resistance to wear and scratches. The front-end fill light is powered through a USB-C interface and comes with a charging cable.

I took this lens on a hike and ended up shooting most of my video shots with it. I shot with it on both the full frame and crop sensor camera and was very pleased with the IQ and short focusing distance of this lens. It does not have image stabilization, but since it is a wide lens, even the hand-held shots looked good and were usable.

Really happy about the lack of distortion and clarity. Also has a really nice feel on the a7 bodies. Great night shot clarity.

The sharpness at f/2.8 is as good as FE 16-35mm stopped down and the corner sharpness is untouchable by the zoom lens. It reminds me why I have always preferred prime lenses over zoom. Stopped down slightly to f/4 and it easily out-resolves the 24mp a7 sensor; eye-ball cutting sharpness is a given across the entire frame, spare the extreme 1% corner of photo. The 18-pointed sunstars are also very well defined and attractive. I find the colour transmission and contrast to be wonderful and the raw file requires only minimal amount of adjustments to achieve my desired result. The OLED display gets some love finally as I find it very intuitive on a super wide angle, just glance on the display and you know the depth of field, even in the darkest of nights. Although a little bulky, it weighs in at a feather weight of 330 gram and I can do urban exploration all day long with a7 and this lens on my neck strap. I will treat this lens as my family heirloom thank you very much :)

I am an architectural photographer who shoots mainly high end homes for magazines and real estate agents. My equipment: Sony A7RII + 16-35 FE. Received the Batis 18mm today and immediately placing my 16-35 for sale in Craigslist. THe lens is expensive but amazing. Tack sharp. And somehow handles the camera AWB much much better even though I still do manual white balance. Things I need to get used to are shooting at F2.8 to about F 5.6. I normally shoot at F8-F11 so there's no depth of field problem. However I do like shooting with wider aperture because I'm dealing with dim light situations all the time. I have to place the focus point in the distance as not to blur anything in the foreground. So far, I don't miss the zoom. Also the lens is much lighter than the 16-35. I'm in my late 70s and the less weight to lug around the better.
