Don’t Call Me Makro Until this point my coverage of the Milvus line from Zeiss has focused on the the lenses with new optical formulas, namely the 50mm f/1.4 and 85mm f/1.4 lenses. Over this past year, however, I’ve gotten a lot of requests to review the Milvus 2/100mm (100mm f/2), a rebuild of the […] [Read more...]
I’ve had a great opportunity to get an early look at the just announced today Zeiss Milvus Distagon T* 18mm f/2.8 (2.8/18mm). I love the look of this lens, love the focal length, and now I get to find out if I love the image quality. It stands as a more compact option (with an […] [Read more...]
I’m delighted that Zeiss has released a new Milvus version of one of my favorite Zeiss lenses – the Milvus APO Sonnar T* 2/135mm.

But one of perks of doing what [Read more...]

Zeiss lenses have that intangible “it factor” for me, from the beautiful construction with its vintage manual focus sensibilities to the always unique and beautiful image quality. I enjoy reviewing th [Read more...]
Zeiss certainly surprised me when in September they announced and quickly released a whole new line of lenses under the name Milvus. Yes, line. In fact, there are six new lenses that were announced and then subsequently released under the Milvus name, including a 21mm f/2.8, 35mm f/2, 50mm f/1.4, 50mm f/2 Makro-Planar, 85mm f/1.

Zeiss Milvus Planar T* 1.4/85mm Image Gallery I’m always excited to spend time with a Zeiss lens. I love the beautiful build, the great optics, and the more deliberate process of manually focusing the lenses. Not everyone enjoys the manual focus process, but I like the analog, organic process when I have time t [Read more...]
