Schneider Kreuznach, a world leader in high performance lenses is pleased to announce the 18mm Xenon Full Frame Prime lens is available to preorder.

Adding to the current Full Frame Prime line up, the 18mm is available in feet and metre scales, and in Canon EF/Nikon/PL/Sony E Mount fittings.

As with the rest of the Xenon Full Frame Prime lens range, the 18mm features an optical and mechanical design that offers reliability and outstanding operation. Each T stop on the lens provides a smooth and consistent bokeh due the to the circular 14 blade aperture. The consistent sizes and gear locations across the range ensure easy compatibility with existing cameras and accessories.

The Xenon Full Frame Prime lens range has been built to last, with Schneider’s engineers selecting the finest glass and applying an anti-reflection coating.

“I have been using Schneider Xenon Full Frame Prime Lenses for some time now.” States Jim Marks, professional commercial photographer and filmmaker. “The lens range offers a fantastic balance of performance, price and weight and are one of the best options on the market. The incredible build quality, coupled with the well thought out features – such as the flexibility to change mounts when I need too and common aperture across the range means that Schneider has built a lens system that can grow and adapt with me.”
