The redesigned ZEISS Milvus 1.4/85 lens is particularly suitable for portrait photography, indispensable for compositions where the main subject must be defined clearly and stand out against a beautiful Bokeh background, the purely spherical optical design and the use of different types of glass allow for optimal microcontrast and extremely low chromatic aberration. The result: extraordinary photographs at any time - With the Bokeh champion.

This 85mm f/1.4 lens is designed for the FX format of Nikon's F-mount digital SLR, and can also be used with DX models where it will provide an equivalent focal length of 127.5mm.

f fast / 1.4 benefits maximum opening working in low light conditions and also offers ample control over the depth of field.

The characteristics of the planar optical design Complex seven elements of partial anomalous dispersion glass to significantly reduce chromatic aberrations for greater sharpness and clarity.

unique spherical design produces a particularly smooth bokeh quality to benefit portrait applications and selective attention.

Floating system elements maintain consistent performance when working with both close-ups and distant objects.

* zeiss T anti-reflective coating controls enhanced ghost effects and high-contrast flare, neutral color images.

manual focus design benefited from laser engraving of focus and depth of field scales, along with an IR point position and hard stops, both in infinite minimum focus positions and more.

The manual aperture ring has clicked indicators throughout the aperture range. Using the included Click Tool, this ring can be mechanically 'un-click' for smooth and quiet rotation throughout the aperture range; making it ideal for video applications.

weather-resistant construction includes internal seals to protect against dust and moisture, as well as a blue seal ring on the lens mount to protect the camera lens interface.

All-metal lens tube has a matte, anodized surface along with a rubber focus ring for durability and better tactile control.
