While we no longer rent this used product, we do carry the Zeiss Milvus ZF.2 50mm f/2M.
Advanced optical design for extremely sharp images
9.45-inch minimum focusing distance
Manual focus with internal-focusing mechanism
Great for low-light hand-held shooting
The Zeiss ZF.2 50mm f/2 Makro-Planar is a macro lens that’s recognized as one of the sharpest lenses available and is the predecessor to the Zeiss Milvus ZF.2 50mm f/2M. Key features include:
Normal-Perspective Macro. The Zeiss ZF.2 50mm f/2 Makro-Planar for Nikon is not a true Macro in that it has a 1:2 maximum focusing ratio, but it does give you a 9.45-inch minimum focusing distance. Its fast f/2 aperture lets you shoot hand-held even in less-than-ideal light.
Advanced Optical Design. The ZF.2 50mm f/2 Makro Planar’s floating-elements design helps to produce extremely sharp, high-microcontrast images across a wide focusing range. Although it gives up a stop of aperture compared to the ZF 50mm f/1.4, many photographers prefer it because of its razor-sharp images.
Versatile on Full-Frame Cameras. In addition to being great for macro work, the ZF.2 50mm f/2 Makro Planar is a versatile standard lens when you use it with a full-frame camera.
Communicates With the Camera. The ZF.2 designation adds a microchip to the lens that automatically lets the camera know time, aperture setting, and manual exposure settings, including those for cameras that are not AI-compatible. Since the lens now transmits the EXIF data, photographers no longer need to manually set the parameters. The ZF.2 lenses are optically identical to the original ZF lenses, so if these functions aren’t important to you, you can save some money by getting the original ZF mount.

I’ve been shooting Zeiss lenses completely manually, using adapters on Canon bodies for several years because I love the Zeiss look. The chance to shoot these direct mount lenses with focus confirmation and automatic aperture has made my day. The 50 Makro-Planar is one of the ZF lenses I strongly prefer to the other 50mm lenses available. Its simply one of the sharpest lenses at this focal length you can find. Its sharp wide open, but of course that means f/2, so if you need an ultra-wide aperture, this isn’t the lens for you.
If you’re interested in finding good reviews of the various ZF lenses, with in-depth analysis of their strengths and weaknesses, we recommend spending a few dollars and getting Lloyd Chambers online review of the ZF lineup
