Zeiss Milvus 135mm F2 Long Term Review

Dustin Abbott

March 21st, 2020

Here’s an updated long term review on what I call the “best lens that no one is using”.  The Zeiss Milvus 135mm F2 APO Sonnar is one of the best optical instruments in the world, but it is in few people’s kits.  I noted on B&H Photo that the Canon EF version I’m reviewing has only 5 user reviews (all five star, of course) despite being around for nearly four years.  In my long term video review I explore what makes this lens so great, but also the reasons why few people are using it and why even I don’t reach for it as often as what I would like.  If you want to read my original text review, you can find it here. I’m doing the video review on a Canon EOS R body, though photos in the gallery have been taken with everything from a Canon EOS R to a 6D to a Canon 5D Mark IV and even some shots adapted to Sony!  Enjoy the video review of one of my favorite lenses!
