Zeiss has added a new wide-angle lens to its Milvus line of full-frame, manual focus lenses for Nikon and Canon DSLRs. The new Milvus 25mm F1.4 is now the fourth widest lens in the family-which ranges from 15mm to 135mm-and brings the total number to Milvus lenses to 11, four of which boast fast F1.4 apertures.
According to Zeiss, the Milvus 25mm F1.4 is `suitable primarily for landscape and architecture photography, and for journalistic shots and videos` thanks to its fast aperture and a new optical design that uses 15 elements in 13 groups to deliver `high-contrast photos and a harmonious bokeh.` They also claim `hardly any color fringes,` even when you`re shooting with the lens wide-open.
Like the entire Milvus line, the new 25mm F1.4 is manual focus only, and features a robust all-metal housing as well as `special seals` for protection against dust and splashes.
The new Milvus 25mm F1.4 will be available starting November 2nd for 2,400 Euros (including tax) or $2,400 USD. To learn more about this lens or the entire Milvus line, head over to the Zeiss website by clicking here.
