The Zeiss Milvus ZF.2 21mm f/2.8 Distagon is a high-quality manual-focus lens designed for Nikon DSLRs. It’s an update to the popular Zeiss ZF.2 21mm f/2.8. Key features include:
Great for landscape, interior, and architectural photography
Advanced optics for high-quality images
Smooth, fully manual focusing with a 124° throw
Durable, weather-resistant build
Very Wide Angle. This lens’s wide-angle perspective is popular for landscape, nature, interior, and architectural photography. You can also use the Zeiss Milvus ZF.2 21mm f/2.8 Distagon for Nikon with APS-C cameras for a roughly 32mm-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 Milvus ZF.2 21mm Distagon continues Zeiss’s pedigree of cutting-edge optics. It uses four anomalous partial-dispersion glass elements within a floating-elements system to control 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 21mm 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 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.
Click On, Click Off. The 100mm Milvus f/2.8 ZF.2 line offers an aperture ring that features 1/2-stop clicks throughout the f/2.8-22 range, as well as the ability to mechanically switch to clickless operation.
