Zeiss – Milvus 100mm f/2.0 – ZF.2
A portrait-length prime featuring a high 1:2 maximum magnification, the Nikon F mount ZEISS – MILVUS 100mm f/2.0 – ZF.2 features a floating elements system for consistently high image quality when working with both near and distant subjects. Using the classic Planar optical design, this lens incorporates two anomalous partial dispersion glass elements to control aberrations and distortions for even illumination and sharpness throughout the aperture and focus ranges. An enhanced Zeiss T* anti-reflective coating has also been applied to lens elements to suppress flare and ghosting for increased contrast and clarity.
Designed for macro applications, this lens’ 1:2 maximum magnification ratio is benefitted by a 1.4′ minimum focusing distance along with printed magnification scales on the barrel. Its manual focus design is complemented by a rubberized focus ring for fine-tuned, precise control over your focus position. This ZF.2 lens also features a manual aperture ring that can be manually de-clicked for silent, stepless switching between aperture setting to benefit video applications.
Additionally, Milvus-series lenses also feature an equally aesthetic and durable frosted, anodized metal lens barrel surface along with a weather-sealed construction to protect against dust and moisture.

100mm f/2 lens
Short telephoto prime is designed for FX-format Nikon F-mount cameras, however, can also be used with DX models where it provides a 150mm equivalent focal length.
Ideal for macro shooting, this lens offers a half life-size 1:2 maximum magnification along with a minimum focusing distance of 1.4′ to suit working with close-up subjects
Two anomalous partial dispersion elements
Two anomalous partial dispersion elements are used to significantly reduce colour fringing and chromatic aberrations for increased clarity and colour fidelity
Bright f/2 maximum aperture
Bright f/2 maximum aperture benefits working in low-light conditions and also enables extensive control over depth of field
Planar optical design
Planar optical design incorporates a pair of anomalous partial dispersion elements, which help to reduce chromatic aberrations and colour fringing
A maximum magnification ratio of 1:2
A maximum magnification ratio of 1:2 pairs with a minimum focusing distance of 1.4′ and dedicated macro markings on the lens barrel for close-up shooting
Floating elements system
Floating elements system maintains consistent performance when working with both close-up and distant subjects
Enhanced Zeiss T* anti-reflective coating
Enhanced Zeiss T* anti-reflective coating controls ghosting and flares for high contrast, colour-neutral imagery
Manual focus design
Manual focus design is benefitted by laser-engraved focusing and depth of field scales, along with an IR position dot and hard stops at both infinity and minimum focusing positions
Weather-resistant construction
Weather-resistant construction includes internal seals to guard against dust and moisture as well as a blue sealing ring at the lens mount to protect the lens-camera interface
Manual aperture ring
The manual aperture ring has clicked indicators throughout the aperture range. Using the included De-Click Tool, this ring can be mechanically ‘de-clicked’ for smooth, silent rotation throughout the aperture range; making it ideal for video applications
All-metal lens barrel
The all-metal lens barrel has a frosted, anodized surface along with a rubberized focusing ring for both durability and improved tactile control
