ZEISS Milvus 2/100M Makro-Planar T* - Canon EF, Nikon F Mount

The ZEISS Milvus 2/100M Makro-Planar T* is a high-performance manual focus macro lens capable of 1:2 magnification. Available for Canon EF (ZE) and Nikon F (ZF.2) mounts, it features an advanced optical design that minimizes aberrations even at close range. It is highly regarded for its 'pop' and bokeh, making it equally effective for portraiture as it is for macro work. The all-metal barrel and weather-sealed construction ensure durability in professional environments. Focusing is entirely manual with a long throw; SDS checks that the movement remains smooth and consistent without dry spots. For the Nikon ZF.2 version, the aperture ring should click cleanly, while the Canon ZE version’s electronic aperture must be verified via the camera body. Inspect the front element and the deep-set rear element for any signs of internal dust or fungal growth, which can occasionally occur in high-precision optics.
