Pros: Unchanged from the predecessor, so completely promoted

Cons: Same predecessor problem about stretching to lower magnification ratios, not true macro coming only at 1:2

Opinion: I must confess that the hesitancy was strong in me before the purchase. I had to postpone back a Zeiss 100 F2 Classic because it had internal dust, and I wasn't sure to spend anything extra for it. In the end I decided, I made the purchase, and I was astounded. We note the net change of Zeiss about the construction. End of the metal "old style" (nice but overly delicate), and welcome the metal "futuristic". I don't quite know how to get this brushed effect, so much so that it will be really hard to wear out the body. We must put a commitment to mark it. The ring of the MF may like not pleasure, surely "ride by Wire" makes a better effect, so it is perhaps too much friction, but it makes us a habit (being rubber and not metal). The grafts and the details are maniacal, lens hood and body will be grafted to form a smooth and uniform line, much more uneven than the Classic line. In essence, this lens is also a big hit (if you love it), and I think a couple of hundred more than the previous version are justified. You lose a little ' sex appeal ' of the Zeiss Classic, but you gain in serenity of use considering how simple it was to scratch the body of the old Zeiss. I applaud the metal lens hood with inner velvet, truly libidinous to use compared to the other brands ' fakes.

Pros: It is the absolute top, in all respects

Cons: Perhaps the clutter, but just wanting to look for the hair in the egg ....

Opinion: A couple of weeks ago I decided to change my 100 Makro Planar ZF.2 Classic to get the new Milvus. That the new series is waterproofed (but for real, not like the nikon ...) you all know that the new Milvus is even more resolvent than the excellent Classic I discovered it alone, otherwise the features are similar and therefore I propose again what I have already written of the ZF.2 "I tell the truth, I have always found so well with my beautiful Nikon AFS-G fixed all 1.4 (24, 35, 85) from never having felt the need to try Cosina-Zeiss's manual focus stuff, celebrated that it was - on the contrary, I've always seen it as a radical chic stuff, as a bar jockeys ... And then ... destiny wanted to punish me by letting me drop a good chance to buy this blessed makro planar! I was relied on at the first contact, finally it was back to touch metal and glass as in the good times of the AIs, and then the test, which confirmed what good says about it: about 36 mpxl I found sharpness beyond measureaccompanied by excellent bokeh, high contrast and 3D effect, bright but real colors. It must be said that for general use to center the maf at TA is really a lottery with the slides of modern SLR, however, closing just do not have problems. To finish the price that, altino altogether, turns out more than appropriate for what this wonder can offer "

Pros: impeccable construction, smooth focus, micro-contrast.

Cons: It does not allow to obtain a ratio of 1: 1; apprenticeship in close focus with open aperture.

Opinion: The Zeiss Milvus 100 mm. f / 2 Makro is the lens that delight those looking for an extreme microcontrast in ravvicinata.rnLa flawless construction resumed with a refined design, the weather sealing, the creamy smoothness of focus, typically the Zeiss color are the qualities that best represent it in the optical Macro view. Does not reach the reproduction ratio 1: 1 (instead its direct competitor Nikkor AF-S 105 mm. Has), but made amends by offering a typical brightness of f / 2 (f / 2.8 Nikkor) .rnE 'a lens which can obviously be used for all kinds (perhaps the least suitable is the portrait), and gives details and infinite shades with consistent sharpness from edge to bordo.rnA close range and open diaphragms requires some training to get the sharpness you befits a view like that; This is crucial especially when coupled to sensors with high number of pixels (over 24 Mpxl). But, acquired the giusta familiarity with Manual Focus, it's really a great lente.rnConsigliatissimo.
