Zeiss is Zeiss
Super clean and contrast results for portraits

Tolles Objektiv
Traumhafte Farbwiedergabe & Bokeh, ja Federleicht ist es nicht, aber ein gut verarbeiteter Panzer wiegt halt. zeigt ab & zu paar CAs bei hohen Kontrasten, stört mich nicht, es geht mir mehr um den Look/Charme. Man erkennt ein gutes Objektiv zB. an der Abbildung der Hautfarben und da ist das Zeiss auch Top Notch.

Zeiss optics are truly SPECIAL!
This review will be short. The build quality is second to none, all metal with extremely tight tolerances. VERY smooth focus ring that is rubberized and a dream to use. The design is subjective, but I like how the lens flares outwards towards the front element. Speaking of the front element, it is beautiful and takes an 82mm filter. The hood attaches securely and very snug, not even the slightest of movements when it snaps on. Also metal, although I prefer the look of the lens without the hood. NOW, image quality.. It is very sharp from 2.8 onwards. The rendering is beautiful. There is vignetting wide open at 2.8 but it's easily corrected with a click of a checkbox in LR. Apart from the almost $2k price tag when new, I have zero complaints. LOVE using this on my Canon R5 with the focus assist feature. This MF lens rekindled my passion for this (expensive) art form.

Typical high quality Zeiss
It’s constructed of metal including the lens hood. The fit and finish of everything is very well done. It mounts perfectly on any of my Nikon cameras. Including my Z8 through the FTZ adapter. It’s electronics connect and offer everything a Nikon AF lens would except autofocus. In the Z8 this is no big deal if you use “focus peaking.” In my opinion the results obtained are perfect. Very sharp all over. I think better than most of my Nikon glass.

Das Schärfe- und Bokeh-Wunder
Ich habe eine Weile überlegt, wie ich das Milvus bewerten soll. Und ich bin zu dem Schluss gekommen, dass der Kauf des Milvus eine Herzensangelegenheit ist und sich nicht reinweg mit dessen (überragenden) optischen Leistungen begründen lässt. Ein Zeiss-Objektiv kauft man nicht, weil man es braucht, sondern weil man es will. Kühle Rechner werden angesichts der Preise einen weiten Bogen um die Zeiss-Milvus-Reihe machen. Es sieht zwar deutlich moderner aus, als die Objektive der Classic-Reihe, aber es ist und bleibt ein Zeiss-Objektiv der reinen Lehre. Kein Schnickschnack (AF oder Bildstabi), dafür viel Charakter (Bokeh), Liebe zum Detail (Samt in der GeLi) und dienlichen Neuerungen (Wetterschutz, Linsenvergütung). Ist es seinen Preis wert? Ja, auf jeden Fall. Ich für meinen Teil nutze es fast nur noch. Dennoch, ist der Kauf vernünftig und rational begründbar? Nein! Dafür ist es für ein Objektiv ohne AF schlichtweg zu teuer. Ich kann jedem potentiellen Käufer nur raten, sich mal ein Milvus auszuleihen und zu testen, ob man mit dem Konzept überhaupt warm wird.

I never would have thought manual focus would be this fun. This is the next level to my photography skills
After researching for 85 prime , I stumbled on this . I have not own a Zeiss lens before, but I have hear a lot of amazing reviews about it so I gave it a try. The canon 85 mm 1.4 L is another option, however, for the price, this is the bang for the buck item. No chromatic fringing, no distortion and tack sharp at 1.4 even if you focus on the extreme side of the AF point. I have tried a manual lens before , but this lens has an amazing focus . It is so precise to nail the perfect focus. I own a 24-70 2.8 ii and 70-200 2.8 ii IS , but this lens blew the previous away and this raised up my bar on the sharpness of the lens. !! I would still keep my canon lens , but this lens is my ace among them all. The quality is so superb on a canon 5dsr body. I would recommend to keep an auto focus lens in your bag. I have done months of research for a 85mm prime 1.4 in the market. Sigma 85mm Art 1.4 is the runner up , however, has issues with auto focus, compatibility issue with Canon 5d iv and reliability. For the price of 1200, I would rather add a few hundreds more for a zeiss milvus since it is built like a tank. In fact, more robust and solid than the famous Canon 70-200ii 2.8 L built. The milvus even has a 3 yr warranty. The 3rd place is the new Canon 85mm L 1.4 is then followed by the Tamron 85mm.
