ZEISS Milvus 18mm f2.8 Nikon

This compact super wide-angle lens is ideal for spectacular landscape and architectural photography. Its unique field of view gives you a range of creative options for composing your photographs. Get up close and create the impression of being right in the middle of the action. Expand the depth effect of your image or highlight an object against a wide background. The high performance of the ZEISS Milvus 2.8/18 ensures impressive image quality across the entire image field. It allows you to capture unique perspectives in any location.

Excellent image quality even in difficult lighting conditions

The combination of a number of finely tuned measures ensures optimized flare reduction. In addition to the ZEISS T* coating, all lens edges are elaborately hand-finished with a deep black special coating. The integration of specially calculated surfaces and light traps in mechanical components ensures that reflections do not occur in the first place.

A future-proof solution for high-resolution camera systems

Due to their high imaging performance, ZEISS Milvus lenses are especially designed to meet the requirements of current and future high-performance digital cameras. High-contrast images are possible even with increasing dynamic ranges of the sensors (HDR) due to the low level of stray light in the lens. The optics have the potential to get the most out of even high-resolution systems.

Creative photography and videography through precise manual focusing

Operating a lens manually means controlling the image result smoothly and precisely from your fingertips and thus consciously shaping it. Ergonomics is everything. The ZEISS Milvus lenses feature a large rotation angle that enables perfect focusing to the point. In addition to the long focus travel, the stepless and silent aperture adjustment (De-Click function with ZF.2 mount) provides these photo lenses with the best conditions for videography.

Durable product with protection against environmental influences

The ZEISS Milvus lenses not only impress with their outstanding housing appearance and feel, but also with their inner values. Special seals for protection against dust and splash water expand the creative possibilities in various shooting areas - so reliable function is guaranteed even under difficult conditions.

Stable imaging performance over the entire focusing range

The Floating Elements design enables consistently high imaging performance in the focal plane - from the closest focusing distance to infinity. This is achieved by changing the axial distance between individual lenses or lens groups. The adjustment of the lens distance is coupled to the distance setting, so that the correct correction is always achieved. The mechanical design of the ZEISS Milvus lenses is very complex and the processing must be particularly precise - both of which are ZEISS's core disciplines.
