A modern classic in the form of a fast “fifty kopecks” for hardcore photographers — although the lens draws a razor-sharp picture with perfect bokeh, however, focus in the process of shooting will happen purely in the old fashioned way, i.e. manually. The point is that Carl Zeiss Milvus 1.4 / 50 belongs to the manual optics family, which is a special philosophy of the German brand Zeiss.

Convenience in target acquisition is added by the smooth running of the focus ring (within 270 °) and the detailed distance scale. The lens was designed to suit the requirements of modern cameras equipped with high-resolution sensors. Its work is possible in tandem with Nikon and Canon full-frame SLR cameras. Depending on the sharpness of the model for a particular system, the weight of the lens varies from 875 g (Nikon) to 922 g (Canon). Of course, "fifty kopecks" cannot be classified as nimble reporter's "glasses", however, in a leisurely shooting of landscapes or portraits, the lens reveals itself in all its glory.

Everything is relative: interchangeable lenses for cameras from third-party manufacturersLenses from alternative brands: money down the drain or an increase in image quality?

In other words, it is a lens of many talents. Realistic imaging of three-dimensional objects is guaranteed at all times. Despite its high speed, the advanced ZEISS Distagon optical design ensures outstanding imagery across the entire image field - even at full aperture. Excellent imagery, even in difficult light conditions All lenses features a T antireflective coating from ZEISS. Outstanding stray light reduction is achieved by combining a number of optimally matched measures. In addition to the ZEISS T coating, all lens edges are provided with a special pitch-black lacquer in a complex manual process. Light traps in mechanical components and specially designed surfaces are integrated to prevent the occurrence of reflections. Each focal length has its own individual optical design with the use of special types of glass displaying anomalous partial dispersion. This reduces the occurrence of color fringes at high-contrast edges of subjects to an absolute minimum. Future-proof solution for high-resolution camera systems The excellent image performance of the ZEISS Milvus Lenses is sharply 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.
