MILVUS 2.821 ZF2 ZF0548

ZF0548 ZEISS MILVUS 2.8 / 21 ZF2 photographic lens for Nikon F

Design
When wide-angle viewing is taken to the extreme and requires control through the SLR viewfinder - which means that the rear focal distance has to be much larger than the focal length - the Distagon retrofocus design will be the best choice.

Distagon with 16 lenses in 13 groups
Lens made of a special glass with anomalous partial dispersion
"Floating elements" design
Features
Stunning images, even in low light
All lenses feature ZEISS T * ® anti-reflection coating. The incredible reduction of scattered light is achieved thanks to the combination of several perfectly harmonized measures. In addition to the ZEISS T * treatment, all edges of the lenses have a lacquered black color achieved by a complex manual process. To avoid reflections, light traps have been integrated into the mechanical components and specially designed surfaces. Each focal length has its own optical design, thanks to the use of special glasses that allow visualization of the anomalous partial dispersion. In this way, halos are possible to an absolute minimum in the case of subjects with high contrast edges.

Future-proof solution for high resolution camera systems
The excellent performance of the ZEISS Milvus lens meets the requirements of today's and future high-performance digital cameras. Thanks to the low scattered light provided by the design of this lens, it is possible to shoot high-contrast images by increasing the highly dynamic range of the sensors (HDR). Coma, astigmatism and minimal spherical aberrations allow a constant high resolution of the entire image field. The lens is designed to ensure full utilization of the performance offered by high resolution camera systems. No matter what the future holds, the ZEISS Milvus lens is ready to use anytime, anywhere.
Creative photos and videos thanks to highly precise manual focus
Manually focusing a lens involves controlling and thus actively creating an image using your fingers delicately and precisely. Here, good design ergonomics make the difference. The ZEISS Milvus lens offers a wide angle of rotation that allows for pinpoint focusing. The superior quality focusing mechanism moves smoothly, optimally supporting the photographer's creative interaction, with a focal plane of fixed focal lengths at high speed. The changes are immediately visible in the viewfinder or on the display. The engraving in meters and feet and the focusing scale represent an additional support for manual focusing. The continuous and silent aperture adjustment (DeClick function with ZF.2 mount) and the long focusing range establish the optimal conditions for video shooting.

A durable product with protection from environmental influences
An optimized ergonomic design allows for easy photography and reduces camera shake. The metal housing makes every adjustment an epic experience. The dynamic and precise cylinder design marks the beginning of new trends in the world of camera lenses. However, ZEISS Milvus lenses are not only extraordinary in their visual and optical excellence, they also excel in internal qualities. The special seals that protect against splashes and dust, expand the creative potential of the photographer, while ensuring the functional reliability of the system even in difficult environmental conditions.

Stable shooting performance over the entire focus range
State-of-the-art camera systems and high-resolution digital image sensors force you to create lenses that always perform better. The floating elements design allows for high and constant shooting performance in the focal plane, from the closest object distance to infinity. This is possible by adjusting the axial distance between individual lens elements or groups of elements. The element distance adjustment is combined with the distance adjustment so that the correct correction can always be obtained. The mechanical design of the ZEISS Milvus lenses is very complex and the processing must be extremely precise - all specialties of ZEISS.
