ZEISS Milvus 15mm f/2.8 Full Frame Camera Lens for Nikon F-Mount ZF.2, Black

Spectacular dreamy bokeh even at f1.4, really sharp images and amazing micro contrast. I got it mainly for portraits and to do more monochrome photography, where the micro contrast is incredible. . It does not disappoint, best 50mm in my book bar the Otus 55mm but by f2.8 it's just about on par with the Otus, nothing touches the Otus at f1.4 but if your shooting at that aperture then you really need this beauty on a tripod. It is after all a manual focus lens and the DOF wide open is very very narrow. The new housing on the Milvus line looks sexy too as well as being weather sealed. It's my second Zeiss lens, my other being the 135 f2 apo Sonnar which is taking it to another level, that lens reigns supreme in my collection but this Milvus 50 is not far behind. Highly recommended.

Traumhafte Farbwiedergabe & Bokeh, ja Federleicht ist es nicht, aber ein gut verarbeiteter Panzer wiegt halt. zeigt ab & zu paar CAs bei hohen Kontrasten, stört mich nicht, es geht mir mehr um den Look/Charme. Man erkennt ein gutes Objektiv zB. an der Abbildung der Hautfarben und da ist das Zeiss auch Top Notch.

Kaum wird die Umgebung ein wenig dämmerig, ist das Scharfstellen extrem schwierig. In solche Situationen will man aber mit einer Blende von 1,4 vordringen. Ist das Objekt gut beleuchtet, ist das Scharfstellen leichter. Ansonsten sehr scharfe Bilder mit einer wunderbaren Farbgebung. Zeiss sollte dem Objektiv einen Autofokus spendieren. Dann bin wieder mit dabei - habe es zurückgeschickt.

Spectacular Bokeh at F1.4 and amazing center to corner sharpness at F4-5.6. Color is great, along with great contrast. Build quality is among the best. The weight is more than any standard 50mm, but the image quality is worth it. It's manual focus with a very long throw, but this helps finely tune focus. I use this on my Sony A7II, focus magnification and 5 axsis stabilization makes this lens a joy to use.

Thank you for the fast delivery and accurate delivery as a new product, but because the product was shipped in a plastic bag, the packaging was very poor and the product could be damaged or not work. The product was good.

When I received the lens delivery, the Amazon outer packaging was intact, but the original Zeiss box inside was damaged. The lens itself was not damaged and was in perfect condition. This is not the first Zeiss lens I have bought — I own several lenses from the Zeiss “Classic” series. The 15 mm f/2.8 ZF is currently the only lens from the Milvus series in my collection. I use it on a Canon DSLR via an adapter. The build quality of the lens is excellent. The aperture ring could be slightly wider, which would make it more comfortable to use. I also recommend replacing the 95 mm plastic front cap — the original Zeiss cap comes off easily when the camera with the lens is in a bag. It is therefore best to screw a protective filter onto the lens right away. The lens is quite heavy, but it fits comfortably in the hand. Even though this is a manual-focus lens, focusing is not a problem. I can easily set the focus to infinity, and with a quality adapter this causes no issues. The lens has good contrast and does not flare in sunlight.
