Description — Zeiss 35mm f/1.4 ZF.2 T*
The Zeiss Milvus 35mm f/1.4 ZF.2 T* is a prime, full-frame wide-angle lens designed for Nikon F-mount DSLR cameras. Its f/1.4 maximum aperture makes it well-suited to shooting in lower light and provides meaningful creative control over depth of field. At a focal length of 35mm, it covers a wide-angle perspective that works naturally across a variety of photographic disciplines, from street and documentary work to landscapes and environmental portraits.
This is a manual focus lens — there is no autofocus mechanism — which makes it the right tool for photographers who prefer to have direct, hands-on control over their focus plane. The 72mm filter thread accommodates standard screw-in filters. Weighing in at 1,174g, it is a solid, substantial lens.
There is no image stabilization included, so handheld shooting in challenging light conditions requires attention to shutter speed. Compatible exclusively with the Nikon F mount, it delivers full-frame coverage without compromise on cameras with full-frame sensors.
