Zeiss Milvus 135mm f/2 ZF.2 Lens (Nikon F Mount)

Zeiss Milvus 135mm f/2 ZF.2 Lens (Nikon F Mount)

This high-speed telephoto lens excels with its superb colour correction and rendition. Thanks to its large aperture and smooth bokeh, it is perfect for medium-distance portrait photography.

The Zeiss Milvus 2/135 permits an interplay between fore- and background that is simply incomparable. It can be used in a host of different situations, meaning you can capture the artist’s emotions onstage from your third-row seat, as well as breathtaking portraits in outstanding detail.

The position of the focus rings, which does not change, also makes the lens suitable for video applications with a follow focus system. 

World-Class Imagery in Every Condition

Outstanding stray light reduction is achieved by combining a number of optimally matched measures. In addition to the Zeiss T* coating, all lens edges are provided with a special pitch-black lacquer in a complex manual process. Light traps in mechanical components and specially designed surfaces are integrated to prevent the occurrence of reflections. 

Future-Proof, Built for High Resolution Images

The excellent image performance of the Zeiss Milvus Lenses is sharply focused on the requirements of current and future high-performance digital cameras. Thanks to the low level of stray light allowed by the lens design, high-contrast images are also possible with increasing high dynamic ranges of the sensors (HDR). The optics are designed to ensure full utilization of the performance provided by high-resolution camera systems. 

Manual Focus, Perfect for Video

Manually focusing a lens means controlling and therefore actively composing an image gently and precisely from your fingertips. Here, a good ergonomic design makes all the difference. Zeiss Milvus Lenses feature a large rotation angle which enables pinpoint focusing. The silent, continuous aperture setting (de-click function with ZF.2 mount) and the long focusing range lay also optimal conditions for video photography.

Floating Elements Design for Consistency

The Floating Elements Design permits constantly high image performance in the focal plane – from the minimum object distance to infinity. This is accomplished by changing the axial distance between individual lens elements or element groups. The mechanical design of the Zeiss Milvus Lenses is highly complex and the workmanship must be extremely exact – both specialties of Zeiss. 

Dust and Splash-Proof

Zeiss Milvus Lenses will impress you not only due to their visual and haptic excellence, but also thanks to their inner qualities. Special seals for protection against dust and splashes expand the photographer's creative potential by guaranteeing the system's functional reliability even in environmentally difficult situations.
