The Zeiss Milvus ZE 21mm f/2.8 Distagon is a high-quality manual-focus lens designed for Canon DSLRs. It’s an update to the popular Zeiss ZE 21mm f/2.8. Key features include:
Great for landscape, interior, and architectural shooting
Advanced optics for high-quality images
Smooth, fully manual focusing with 124° throw
Durable, weather-resistant build
Very Wide Angle. The wide-angle perspective is popular for landscape, nature, interior, and architectural photography. You can also use the Milvus 21mm f/2.8 lens with APS-C cameras, which will provide a roughly 34mm-equivalent focal length.
Very Close Focus. When this lens’s wide perspective is coupled with its 8.7-in. minimum focusing distance, foreground subjects become exaggerated, creating a broad sense of space in the image.
Advanced Optics. The Zeiss Milvus ZE 21mm f/2.8 Distagon for Canon follows with Zeiss’s pedigree for cutting-edge optics. It features four anomalous partial-dispersion glass elements within a floating-elements system to combat distortions and aberrations while retaining sharpness and clarity at any focus distance. The enhanced T* anti-reflective coating controls ghosting and flare for a color-neutral image that still flaunts that famous high micro-contrast “Zeiss look.”
High-Quality Build. The ZE 135mm Milvus features a weather-resistant construction with internal seals to guard against dust and moisture, while a blue sealing ring at the lens mount protects the lens-camera interface. The all-metal lens barrel has a frosted, anodized surface for increased durability.
Modern Manual Focus. This fully manual-focus lens features a 124° focus throw and rubberized focus ring for improved tactile control, while still providing electrical communication with the camera to control aperture and communicate EXIF data.
