Zeiss Milvus 18mm f/2.8

Pros: Plasticity, Flare, Colours, Microcontrast, Containment of lateral chromatic aberations (purpite)

Cons: Persistent vignetting, CAPS

Opinion: Excellent lens very constant to all apertures especially from f5.6 on the whole frame shines especially on weak lights in the hours between sunset and dawn, excellent cleaning of the image on long poses with faithful colors with a beautiful plasticity of the image. Very valid especially for managing scenes in rapid "meteorological" change; Long poses where it is possible to make only a single shot, thanks to the maximum dynamic range given by the characteristics open and detailed shadows Zeiss (abinato to the 14.8stop light of the current rooms) also taking advantage of the vignetting points often you can better manage the sun in the room. Another very interesting point, are the flare in backlight that are very contained especially with narrow diaphragms are easily correctable in PP. Formidable and constant focus in situations of darkness (manualfocus) and with large temperature changes, it is not affected by differences in expansion on focus (like other longer focal lengths; tested between -30 and +30 ° C) It does not vignette more with fine circular filters and has the advantage of being able to mount them with the hood that especially with the polarizarori improve the yield since they are normally used with the side sun. With such a solid bayonet it would be fantastic to be able to quickly engage the support for GND filters without having to screw it (which with dilations are often difficult / impossible to disassemble) it would also be interesting to be able to mount special GND filters that compensate for the vignetting according to the diaphragm used. The atropicalized construction very well executed by a good protection as long as it is mounted on the machine (it loses all its protection when the rear cover is mounted since the cover can not seal against the appropriate blue gasket) The retrofocus construction combined with the very rigid and solid hood gives a remarkable protection to the front lens The variation of the settings focusing slightly changes the angle of view and the wheel diaphragm by varying the positions of the stars in the light sources, not usable in Focus stacking. I find very interesting the fine art prints made on large formats such as A2 with 300dpi and A1 with 200dpi taken with the following ISO 64 f8 settings with 14 bit depth.
