ZEISS Milvus 35mm f/1.4 ZE Lens for Canon EF
The ZEISS Milvus 35mm f/1.4 ZE is an optically advanced, masterfully crafted wide-angle prime lens designed for full-frame Canon EF-mount cameras. Featuring a high-speed f/1.4 maximum aperture and a sophisticated Distagon optical design, this premium manual-focus lens delivers extraordinary edge-to-edge sharpness, minimal field curvature, and exquisite color correction. It is a highly versatile tool perfectly suited for a wide array of artistic applications, including fine-art portraiture, documentary photography, and sweeping landscapes.

Legendary Distagon Optics & Fast f/1.4 Aperture
Ultra-Bright f/1.4 Maximum Aperture: The wide f/1.4 aperture provides exceptional low-light performance for handheld shooting in dim environments, while granting meticulous control over depth of field to isolate subjects with striking selective focus effects.

Elite Distagon Optical Concept: Engineered to achieve biting clarity, high sharpness across the entire frame, and near-zero field curvature for accurate flat-field rendering.

Anomalous Partial Dispersion Glass: Incorporates five anomalous partial dispersion elements that systematically eradicate color fringing and chromatic aberrations, ensuring pristine color fidelity and edge definition.

Aspherical Precision: Features one rear aspherical element to control geometric distortion and spherical aberrations, yielding crisp, realistic rendering.

Floating Elements System: Maintains uniform, high-contrast image quality across the entire focusing range—from its close 11.8″ minimum distance out to infinity.

ZEISS T Anti-Reflective Coating:* Applied to every individual glass surface to aggressively suppress ghosting, reflections, and lens flare, preserving deep contrast and rich color neutrality even in intense, direct backlighting.

Precise Manual Controls & All-Metal Milvus Build
Tactile Manual Focus Mechanics: The manual focus design is complemented by engraved focusing distance and depth-of-field scales, along with physical hard stops at both infinity and minimum focus positions for highly accurate, repeatable adjustments.

Industrial Metal Chassis: The all-metal lens barrel features a beautiful frosted, anodized surface built to withstand heavy professional use over long periods. A smooth, rubberized focusing ring provides a premium tactile grip for micro-adjustments.

Weather-Sealed Engineering: Outfitted with comprehensive internal seals to guard against dust and environmental moisture. A distinct blue rubber sealing ring at the lens mount protects the sensitive camera-lens electronic interface.

APS-C Compatibility: Can also be utilized on crop-sensor APS-C camera bodies where it provides a highly useful, standard 56mm equivalent focal length.

Included Accessories
Dedicated Lens Hood Included: Ships complete with its original, precision-matched dedicated lens hood to block stray incident light from causing flare while providing rugged physical protection to the front glass element.
