ZEISS Milvus 100mm f/2M ZF.2 Macro Lens for Nikon F

A portrait-length prime featuring a high 1:2 maximum magnification, the Nikon F mount Milvus 100mm f/2M ZF.2 Lens from ZEISS features a floating elements system for consistently high image quality when working with both near and distant subjects. Using the classic Planar optical design, this lens incorporates two anomalous partial dispersion glass elements to control aberrations and distortions for even illumination and sharpness throughout the aperture and focus ranges. An enhanced ZEISS T* anti-reflective coating has also been applied to lens elements to suppress flare and ghosting for increased contrast and clarity.

Designed for macro applications, this lens' 1:2 maximum magnification ratio is benefited by a 1.4ft minimum focusing distance along with printed magnification scales on the barrel. Its manual focus design is complemented by a rubberised focus ring for fine-tuned, precise control over your focus position. This ZF.2 lens also features a manual aperture ring that can be manually de-clicked for silent, stepless switching between aperture setting to benefit video applications. Additionally, Milvus-series lenses also feature an equally aesthetic and durable frosted, anodised metal lens barrel surface along with a weather-sealed construction to protect against dust and moisture.

• This 100mm f/2 lens is designed for FX format Nikon F mount DSLRs, and can also be used with DX models where it will provide a 150mm equivalent focal length
• Bright f/2 maximum aperture benefits working in low-light conditions and also enables extensive control over depth of field.
• Floating elements system maintains consistent performance when working with both close-up and distant subjects.
• Planar optical design incorporates a pair of anomalous partial dispersion elements, which help to reduce chromatic aberrations and colour fringing.
• Enhanced ZEISS T* anti-reflective coating controls ghosting and flare for high contrast, colour-neutral imagery.
• A maximum magnification ratio of 1:2 pairs with a minimum focusing distance of 1.4ft and dedicated macro markings on the lens barrel for close-up shooting.
• Manual focus design is benefited by laser-engraved focusing and depth of field scales, along with an IR position dot and hard stops at both infinity and minimum focusing positions.
• The manual aperture ring has clicked indicators throughout aperture range. Using the included De-Click Tool, this ring can be mechanically 'de-clicked' for smooth, silent rotation throughout the aperture range; making it ideal for video applications.
• Weather-resistant construction includes internal seals to guard against dust and moisture as well as a blue sealing ring at the lens mount to protect the lens-camera interface.
• All-metal lens barrel has a frosted, anodised surface along with a rubberised focusing ring for both durability and improved tactile control.
