Big meets small
Breathtaking details in close-up
and traditional portraits are the
strengths of the ZEISS Milvus
2/50M of the type Makro-Planar
®
from ZEISS. Thanks to its excellent
performance at all ranges this
macro lens can be used for a wide
variety of applications. The further
optimization of the lens coating
reduces ghosting and flare effects in
critical light situations.
The currently fastest 50 mm full-
format macro lens on the market
will let you highlight even the
smallest detail in the foreground or
background.
