Short Tele/Close Focus. The Zeiss Milvus ZF.2 100mm f/2M for Nikon serves as a dual-purpose lens. As a macro, it offers a 1:2 maximum magnification ratio and a 1.44-ft. minimum focusing distance. Printed magnification scales on the barrel side enable exacting adjustment. At 100mm, it serves as a great portrait lens, with the f/2 aperture allowing for good subject/background separation.
Advanced Optics. The Milvus 100mm ZF.2 Planar continues Zeiss’s pedigree of cutting edge optics. It uses two APO elements within a floating-elements system to ensure consistent image quality when working with close and distant subjects alike. 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 100mm f/2M ZF.2 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 352° 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.
Click On. Click Off. The 100mm Milvus f/2M ZF.2 line offers an aperture ring that features 1/2-stop clicks throughout the f/2-22 range, as well as the ability to mechanically switch to clickless operation.
