Features
Excellent Imagery, Even in Difficult Light Conditions
Outstanding stray light reduction is achieved through multiple matched measures. Along with the ZEISS T* coating, all lens edges feature special pitch-black lacquer applied through a complex manual process. Light traps in mechanical components and specially designed surfaces help prevent reflections.
Future-proof Solution for High-resolution Camera Systems
The ZEISS Milvus 2.8/21 is designed around the requirements of current and future high-performance digital cameras. Its lens design allows for a low level of stray light, supporting high-contrast images with sensors offering increasing high dynamic ranges (HDR). The optics are designed to make full use of the performance provided by high-resolution camera systems.
Creative Still and Video Photography Through Precise, Manual Focusing
Manual focusing provides precise control over image composition directly from the fingertips. The ergonomic design and large rotation angle enable pinpoint focusing. The silent, continuous aperture setting with the De-Click function on the ZF.2 mount and the long focusing range provide suitable conditions for video photography.
Long-lasting Product with Protection Against Environmental Influences
ZEISS Milvus Lenses combine visual and haptic qualities with protection against environmental influences. Special seals provide protection against dust and splashes, helping maintain system functionality in environmentally difficult situations.
