The Zeiss Milvus 135mm f/2.0 ZF.2 is a premium manual focus telephoto lens engineered for professional and creative photographers. This short telephoto prime delivers exceptional optical performance with an advanced APO-Sonnar optical design featuring 11 lens elements in eight groups, including four anomalous partial dispersion elements that virtually eliminate chromatic aberrations. The bright f/2.0 maximum aperture enables striking subject isolation and shallow depth-of-field effects ideal for portrait photography, whilst maintaining excellent performance in low-light conditions. Finished with Zeiss's renowned T* anti-reflective coating, the lens produces outstanding contrast and colour fidelity even in challenging lighting. The all-metal weather-sealed construction protects against dust and moisture, whilst the smooth manual focus mechanism with 270-degree rotation angle allows precise, deliberate control over focus positioning. A floating elements system ensures consistent sharpness throughout the entire focusing range, from 0.80 metres (1:4 magnification) to infinity. Compatible with Nikon F-mount cameras in full-frame and APS-C formats, this lens represents a sophisticated tool for photographers who value optical excellence and tactile, mechanical control.
