Description of Zeiss Milvus 1 4 Camera Mount

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 long focusing range is optimal 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.

Overpriced Lens Disappoints Photographers

As a result of my tests, I determined that this lens failed to deliver the sharpness and clarity expected at its high price point. The autofocus was also slow and inconsistent, causing frustration for action photographers.

Pros
  • None
Cons
  • Overpriced and underperformed.

Amazing manual focus lens

This is definitely an amazing lens. I spent months researching high end 50mm lenses and settled on this one based on the specs and the 270 degree manual focus ring. That's because I mainly shoot with the BlackMagic Pocket Cinema 4K and the manual focus is flawless with this lens. The only thing that isn't perfect is the resistance on the focus ring. It's a bit too tight and introduces noticeable movement. I'm using tracking focus and you can see a little frame movement as you move back and…

If you don't need autofocus, the Canon 50 will do.

While I have a sturdy L-glass with good autofocus (16-35 f4, 70-200 f2.8 II), when it came to fast priming I wasn't overly impressed with the Canon recommend. The 50/1.4 has a USM motor with the structural integrity of cheese, and the 50/1.2, while excellent at times, suffers from color fringing and focus shift issues. What else is there that offers a fast aperture, a floating element, and can provide EXIF data for Canon's native mount? Meet Milvus. I developed my photographic skills on a…
