Pros: Unchanged from its predecessor, which is therefore fully promoted

Cons: Same problem as the predecessor regarding the lengthening to the lower magnification ratios, not true macro coming only to 1:2, to date in 2019 there are Chinese alternatives at half the price (see the various laowa )

Opinion: I must confess that the hesitation was strong in me before the purchase. I had to send back a Zeiss 100 f2 Classic because I had internal dust, and I wasn't sure I'd spend anything extra for it. In the end I decided, I made the purchase, and I was stunned. You notice The net change of Zeiss regarding the construction. End of the metal "old style" (beautiful but overly delicate ), and welcome the "futuristic" metal. I'm not sure how to get this brushed effect, so much so that it will be really hard to wear out the body. We will have to make a commitment to mark it. The dial of the MF can please as not to like, surely "ride by wire" makes a better effect, so it is perhaps too frictiony, but it makes us habit (being rubber and not metal ). The grafts and details are manic, lampshade and body will be grafted to form a soft and uniform line, much more blunt than the Classic line. In essence, even this lens is a great fault (if lovers of the genre ), and I think a few hundredni more than the previous version are justified. You lose a bit that "sex appeal" of the Zeiss Classic, but you gain in serenity of use considering how simple it was to strip the body of the old Zeiss. Applause at the metal lampshade with internal velvet, really libidinous to use compared to the pats of other brands.

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.
