Description

The Zeiss Milvus 85mm f/1.4 ZF.2 captures beautiful depth, lifelike contrast, and cinematic rendering, making it one of the most expressive portrait lenses in Zeiss’s Milvus lineup. Thanks to its fast f/1.4 aperture and Planar optical design, it delivers smooth, natural bokeh and remarkable microcontrast—perfect for portraits, interviews, and narrative filmmaking. As a result, it has become a go-to choice for professionals who value both artistic character and optical precision.

With its bright maximum aperture, the Milvus 85mm performs exceptionally well in low-light situations, maintaining sharp focus and refined tonal transitions. Moreover, its extended manual focus throw ensures precise control for focus pulls, while the robust all-metal construction provides excellent balance and long-term durability. In addition, internal focusing keeps the lens length constant, improving handling on gimbals or follow-focus rigs.

Furthermore, Zeiss’s signature T* anti-reflective coating effectively suppresses flare and ghosting, even under strong backlight. Consequently, the lens produces vivid colors, high contrast, and a three-dimensional look that stands out in cinematic environments.

Because it uses the Nikon F (ZF.2) mount, the Milvus 85mm easily adapts to Sony E, Canon RF, Nikon Z, and L-Mount systems with standard adapters. Therefore, it offers complete flexibility for hybrid productions that operate across multiple camera platforms.
