The Zeiss Milvus ZE 135mm f/2 is a high-quality manual-focus lens designed for Canon DSLRs, and an update to the popular Zeiss ZE 135mm f/2 APO Sonnar. Key features include:
Short-telephoto/long-portrait length
Narrow depth of field and great bokeh
Smooth, fully manual focusing
Advanced optics for high-quality images
Telephoto Prime. The 135mm focal length gives you great reach as a short-telephoto/long-portrait lens. The f/2 aperture keeps the depth of field narrow, makes for some great bokeh, and allows you to keep shooting in low light.
Advanced Optics. The Zeiss Milvus ZE 135mm f/2 for Canon continues Zeiss’s legacy of phenomenal optics. This lens features four anomalous partial-dispersion glass elements that control distortions and aberrations while retaining sharpness and clarity at any focus distance. The enhanced T* anti-reflective coating controls ghosting and flare for a color-neutral image that still flaunts that famous high micro-contrast “Zeiss look.”
High-Quality Build. The ZE 135mm Milvus features a weather-resistant construction with internal seals to guard against dust and moisture, while a blue sealing ring at the lens mount protects the lens-camera interface. The all-metal lens barrel has a frosted, anodized surface for increased durability.
Modern Manual Focus. This fully manual-focus lens features a 268° focus throw and rubberized focus ring for improved tactile control, while still providing electrical communication with the camera to control aperture and communicate EXIF data.
