In addition to the Zeiss T coating, all lens edges are provided with a special pitch-black lacquer in a complex manual process. Designed to minimize reflections, focal length sports individual optical design and special types of glass, reducing the occurrence of color fringes to a minimum.Future-ProofZeiss Milvus Lenses are focused on the requirements of current and future high-performance digital cameras. Thanks to the low level of stray light allowed by the lens design, high-contrast images are also possible with increasing high dynamic ranges of the sensors (HDR). The minimization of coma, astigmatism and spherical aberrations enables constantly high resolution over the entire image field. The optics are designed to ensure full utilization of the performance provided by high-resolution camera systems.ErgonomicManually focusing a lens means controlling and therefore actively composing an image gently and precisely from your fingertips. Zeiss Milvus Lenses feature a large rotation angle which enables pinpoint focusing, moving smoothly without backlash, optimally supporting the photographer's creative interplay with the focal plane of high-speed fixed focal lengths. Changes are immediately visible in the viewfinder or display. The engraving in meters and feet and the focus scale provide additional support for manual focusing. The silent, continuous aperture setting and the long focusing range lay optimal conditions for video photography.ReliableAn optimized ergonomic design enables fatigue-free photography and reduces camera shake.

However, the Zeiss Milvus Lenses will impress you not only due to their visual and haptic excellence, but also thanks to their inner qualities. Special seals for protection against dust and splashes expand the photographer's creative potential by guaranteeing the system's functional reliability even in environmentally difficult situations.Stable PerformanceState-of-the-art camera systems and high-resolution digital image sensors are now demanding more performance from the lenses. The Floating Elements Design permits constantly high image performance in the focal plane accomplished by changing the axial distance between individual lens elements or element groups. The adjustment of the element spacing is coupled to the distance setting so that it always results in the right correction.ZF.2 LensZF.2 lens supports all key modes on camera models equipped with an electronic interface. Simply lock the aperture ring in the largest f-stop shown in orange. On camera models without an electronic interface, the aperture is manually set on the lens aperture ring. With some camera models, it is possible to set in the menu whether the lens should be selected using the setting dial on the camera or the aperture ring on the lens. Please note that there is no halfway notch between the largest and second largest f-stop. The focused distance is not transmitted to the camera body.
