Zeiss was so nice to send me the brand new Milvus 1.4/35 mm for review purposes. I did review the Milvus 85 f1.4 as well as the 50mm f1.4. Both are excellent glass and I guess the people like the way how I do the reviews...


To have a lens just of 2 weeks is a very short period of time. And the battle is pretty hard, since the new L-glass from Canon is an excellent performer which does not let too much open for improvement....


So I made some comparison shots, the usual stuff what you do. And I took all 3 lenses on a boat trip with friends - just to get a feeling how to work with the lens.The main findings


  • The Milvus is an precision instrument. more than any other lens.
  • focusing manual focusing lenses is much more enjoyable in mirrorless bodies like the M5 (which is a remarkable and lovable camera by the way)
  • And finally I made one interesting shot I wanted to show you here -and which has simps blown me away...
In this image the Is-lens is left, the Milvus in the middle and the L-glass is on the right. The shots were taken with the M5 and the speedlite off camera with a round flash beauty dish...


Do you agree: the Zeiss Mil's shot is much more vivid than the other ones....
