With Zeiss Milvus 15mm f/2.8 ZF.2 Lens for Nikon F your imagination won't ever feel stifled. Featuring super-wide 110-degree angle of view, the lens allows the photographer to orchestrate extreme perspectives and capture events in extraordinary ways, lending them a dynamic feel. The detachable hood and 95 mm filter thread are useful for adding slot-in filter systems or an underwater housing, while exceptionally long focus offers outstanding setting accuracy for film and photography. High-quality images are guaranteed by outstanding chromatic aberration prevention, two aspheric lenses, special glass materials and floating elements design.

Great Imagery

The outstanding stray light reduction is achieved by combining a number of measures. In addition to the Zeiss T coating, all lens edges are provided with a special pitch-black lacquer in a complex manual process. Designed to minimize reflections, focal length sports individual optical design and special types of glass, reducing the occurrence of color fringes to a minimum.

Future-Proof

Zeiss  Milvus Lenses are 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 minimization of coma, astigmatism and spherical aberrations enables constantly high resolution over the entire image field. The optics are designed to ensure full utilization of the performance provided by high-resolution camera systems.

Ergonomic

Manually focusing a lens means controlling and therefore actively composing an image gently and precisely from your fingertips. Zeiss Milvus Lenses feature a large rotation angle which enables pinpoint focusing, optimally supports the photographer's creative interplay with the focal plane of high-speed fixed focal lengths. Changes are immediately visible in the viewfinder or display. The engraving in meters and feet and the focus scale provide support for manual focusing. Continuous aperture setting with de-click function and the long focusing range. 

Reliable

An optimized ergonomic design enables fatigue-free photography and reduces camera shake. The all-metal housing makes every adjustment a haptic experience. The dynamic, precise barrel design sets new trends in the world of camera lenses. However, the Zeiss Milvus Lenses will impress you not only due to their visual and haptic excellence, but also thanks to their inner qualities.

Stable Performance

State-of-the-art camera systems and high-resolution digital image sensors are now demanding more performance from the lenses. The Floating Elements Design permits constantly high image performance in the focal plane accomplished 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.

ZF.2 Lens

ZF.2 lens supports all key modes on camera models equipped with an electronic interface. Simply lock the aperture ring in the largest f-stop shown in orange. On camera models without an electronic interface, the aperture is manually set on the lens aperture ring. With some camera models, it is possible to set in the menu whether the lens should be selected using the setting dial on the camera or the aperture ring on the lens. Please note that there is no halfway notch between the largest and second largest f-stop. The focused distance is not transmitted to the camera body.
