## Description

The champion of bokehPortrait photographers will love the ZEISS Milvus 1.4/85 lens. When you want to concentrate the viewer on the sharply defined details of your subject, this lens will produce a beautiful background bokeh effect with a soft blurring of light and colours to emphasise what matters. The ZEISS Planar symmetrical and purely spherical lens design and use of special types of glass ensures optimal micro contrast and corrects perfectly for chromatic aberrations, delivering precise, pure images. For pictures that will evoke an emotional response, choose the ZEISS Milvus 1.4/85 short telephoto lens.ZEISS Milvus prime lenses are built specifically with the modern high-resolution multi-function DSLR in mind. Outstanding micro contrast, high suppression of flares and ghosting - you will be impressed with the consistently brilliant images you capture with these lenses. With its weather-sealed barrels and lens mounts, ZEISS Milvus lenses can be used in a wide range of conditions. The variety of focal lengths will suit the photographer or moviemaker who wants both precise control and stunning results.

Review: Ich habe eine Weile überlegt, wie ich das Milvus bewerten soll. Und ich bin zu dem Schluss gekommen, dass der Kauf des Milvus eine Herzensangelegenheit ist und sich nicht reinweg mit dessen (überragenden) optischen Leistungen begründen lässt. Ein Zeiss-Objektiv kauft man nicht, weil man es braucht, sondern weil man es will. Kühle Rechner werden angesichts der Preise einen weiten Bogen um die Zeiss-Milvus-Reihe machen. Es sieht zwar deutlich moderner aus, als die Objektive der Classic-Reihe, aber es ist und bleibt ein Zeiss-Objektiv der reinen Lehre. Kein Schnickschnack (AF oder Bildstabi), dafür viel Charakter (Bokeh), Liebe zum Detail (Samt in der GeLi) und dienlichen Neuerungen (Wetterschutz, Linsenvergütung). Ist es seinen Preis wert? Ja, auf jeden Fall. Ich für meinen Teil nutze es fast nur noch. Dennoch, ist der Kauf vernünftig und rational begründbar? Nein! Dafür ist es für ein Objektiv ohne AF schlichtweg zu teuer. Ich kann jedem potentiellen Käufer nur raten, sich mal ein Milvus auszuleihen und zu testen, ob man mit dem Konzept überhaupt warm wird.
Review: Per. Fec. Tion. This lens is worth every penny. The shallow DOF and spectacular bokeh will make you tear up.

## Features

- CREATIVE STILL AND VIDEO PHOTOGRAPHY THROUGH PRECISE MANUAL FOCUSING: ZEISS Milvus lenses feature a large rotation angle which enables pinpoint focusing. The top-quality focusing mechanism moves smoothly without backlash, optimally supporting the photographer's creative interplay with the focal plane of high-speed fixed focal lengths. Engraving in both meters and feet and the focus scale provide additional support for manual focusing. The continuous aperture setting (de-click function with ZF.2 mount) and the long focusing range lay optimal conditions for video photography.
- FUTURE-PROOF SOLUTION FOR HIGH-RESOLUTION CAMERA SYSTEMS: 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 possible with increasing high dynamic ranges of the sensors (HDR). The minimization of coma, astigmatism and spherical aberrations enables consistently high resolution over the entire image field. The optics are designed to ensure full utilization of the performance provided by high-resolution camera systems.
- EXCELLENT IMAGERY, EVEN IN DIFFICULT LIGHT CONDITIONS: All lenses features ZEISS T* antireflective coating. In addition, all lens edges are finished 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.
- STABLE IMAGE PERFORMANCE OVER THE ENTIRE FOCUSING RANGE: State-of-the-art camera systems and high-resolution digital image sensors demand more and more performance from the lens. The Floating Elements Design permits constantly high image performance in the focal plane from the minimum object distance to infinity.
- DURABILITY AND PROTECTION AGAINST THE ELEMENTS: The all-metal housing has special seals for protection against dust and splashes to expand the photographer's creative potential by guaranteeing the system's functional reliability even in environmentally difficult situations.
