Zeiss Milvus 35mm f/2 ZE Lens for Canon EF Mount

The Zeiss Milvus 2/35 ZE Lens lets you capture unique images. This wide-angle lens is ideal for everyday photography, It's compact, fast, and provides accurate manual focusing, excellent imagery thanks to Zeiss coating technology and floating element lens design. Usable under a wide range of conditions, thanks to the durable design, the lens is also future-proofed for high-resolution camera systems.

Great Imagery

By combining a number of measures, you can achieve an outstanding stray light reduction. This lens is constructed with a Zeiss T coating, and the edges are provided with a special pitch-black lacquer in a complex manual process. The focal length features an individual optical design and special types of glass, reducing the occurrence of color fringes to a minimum.

Future-Proof

Thanks to the low level of stray light allowed by the lens construction, high-contrast pictures are also possible with increasing high dynamic ranges of the sensors (HDR). The reduction of coma, astigmatism, and spherical aberrations allows constant high resolution over the entire image field. The optics are designed to utilize the full performance of high-resolution camera systems.

Ergonomic

This Zeiss Milvus Lens features manual focusing, which allows the user to have full access by manually focusing on the image. This lens features a large rotation angle which allows pinpoint focusing, moving smoothly without backlash, optimally supporting the user's creative interplay with the focal plane of high-speed fixed focal lengths. The changes are instantly visible in the viewfinder or display. The engraving in meters and feet and the focus scale provide additional assistance for manual focusing. The silent, continuous aperture setting and the long focusing range lay optimal conditions for video photography.

Reliable

The ergonomic design enables fatigue-free and blur-free photography. The all-metal construction makes every adjustment a haptic experience. The lens also features special seals for protection against dust and splashes, which makes it more durable, rugged, and reliable in any given condition.

Stable Performance

State-of-the-art camera systems and high-resolution digital image sensors are now requiring more performance from the lenses. This lens features a Floating Elements Design, which allows constantly high image performance in the focal plane achieved by changing the axial distance between individual lens elements or element groups. The adjustment of the element spacing is coupled to the distance setting so that it always results in the right correction.

ZE Lens

This manually focusable ZE lens features shutter control and additional electronic contacts to the camera. The lens supports all existing exposure programs (P, AV, TV, M) and the AF confirmation function of the camera. The information of the lens (focal length and speed) is passed on to the camera. Certain functions that require the use of AF lenses (various scene modes, A-DEP) are partially unavailable. The lens is compatible with the EOS camera bodies, and further cameras with EF mount.
