Moderately Wide Angle. When used on a full-frame camera, the Milvus 35mm f/1.4 provides a moderately wide focal length that’s great for landscape, street, and portrait photography. With an APS-C sensor camera, you’ll have a normal-range focal length of about 56mm.

Fast Aperture. The bright f/1.4 maximum aperture lets you shoot in low light and gives you great depth-of-field control for using selective-focusing techniques.

Advanced Optics. The Milvus ZE 35mm f/1.4 Distagon continues Zeiss’s pedigree for cutting-edge optics. Its eleven-group/fourteen-element design features five anomalous partial-dispersion glass elements and one rear aspherical element 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 Milvus ZE 35mm 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 laser-engraved focusing and depth of field scales, an IR position dot, and hard stops at both infinity and minimum focusing positions, all of which facilitate precision adjustment. Its durable rubberized focus ring gives you improved tactile control.
