Zeiss Milvus 2.0/50M - EF

Features

Breathtaking details in close-up and traditional portraits are the strengths of the ZEISS Milvus 2/50M of the type ZEISS Makro-Planar. Thanks to its excellent performance at all ranges this macro lens can be used for a wide variety of applications. Further optimization of the lens coating reduces ghosting and flare effects in critical light situations. The currently fastest 50 mm macro lens on the market will let you highlight even the smallest detail in the foreground or background.

Enjoy a big picture of the tiny world: the ZEISS Milvus 2/50M can even transport you to the cosmos mirrored in a small drop of water. As a macro lens, it is the perfect solution for the close range. Used as a standard lens, it portrays the world in all its natural perspectives.

The famous symmetric lens design invented by Dr. Paul Rudolph at ZEISS in 1896. The Planar lens is the most successful camera lens design – and, by the way, the most plagiarized – ever created. It provides the lens designer with numerous means to correct aberrations extraordinarily well. And its performance is very constant over a wide range of imaging ratios, enabling such a versatile lens variety as the Makro-Planar lens.
