Zeiss Milvus 50mm F1.4 Full-Frame Lens (2015)
Product Gallery
Product Overview
Zeiss Milvus 50mm F1.4 is a high-end large-aperture manual-focus normal prime lens for Canon EF-mount and Nikon F-mount. It covers the full-frame image circle. Introduced by Zeiss in 2015, it has 10 elements in 8 groups.
Manual focus may be limiting to some, but purists will find it much more engaging. There are also fewer things to go wrong on the long run. For incremental weathers, Zeiss is kind enough to include weather sealing.
A normal prime lens, the Zeiss Milvus 50mm F1.4 has the potential to be one of the most used and ultimately versatile option in a photographer's bag. Usually the easiest to design and to QC, it is a great option for landscape and street photography. Its bright maximum aperture also helps night and portrait works.
