Ilike to call the zeiss Milvus lenses series " Eyes of God" . truly insanely amazing image quality.
I have the zeiss 50mm 1.4 and Your video has convinced me to get this 35mm on my prime line up!
Thank you so much Dustin!
They do have lovely IQ.
Great review Dustin! Greetings from Germany. Keep up the good work.
Thank you very much! Germany is actually my largest non-English (primary language) market.
Another brilliant and concise review professionally done . I have one question about this f1.4 lens and the other Milvus 35mm f2 lens. Do you know how they compare as obviously the F2 is way cheaper but not sure if it's as good image wise as it's more expensive f1.4 brother.
Your advise is very welcome. Thank you.
I haven't actually tested the F2 lens, so I'm not really informed.
Awesome review Dustin. Thanks
My pleasure!
Great wrap up for a beautiful lens. I was wondering, there is another 35mm f2 by Zeiss, will you be reviewing that any time soon?
Not anytime soon. I'm really overwhelmed with new equipment right now, with two new camera bodies about about 6 lenses in hand right now.
I really liked the pace of this video. Really good summary and especially nice photos. You really improved a lot since I started watching. I cannot buy every milvus (have two already (50 & 135) and want to buy another one (maybe 18 or 21)), but I am really in love with the rendering and watch your videos just to see some nice pictures with the Zeiss effect. Thanks again.
Using a lens like this does help the quality of the photos :)
Great review as usual, another brilliant lens by Zeiss. The latest Canon 35 however is certainly a great lens in it's own right. Thank you again Dustin for the best lens reviews available anywhere.
+Emph Squee thank you for the very kind feedback. And I agree with you on both counts regarding the lenses
My go to lens for landscapes is the zeis distagon 21mm and I also use the tamron 24-70G2,,which is a exceptional lens. But really you just got to use a zeiss and see the image quality and micro contrast, colour rendition to really appreciate. Yes it’s manual focus but the focusing is so easy and smooth and actually you will go home with more keepers than auto focus. I have several lenses and a crop sensor and full frame D750. I guess it just goes to say the zeiss glass with the D750 just really works and I get asked many times what kind of glass I am using. Zeiss make things just pop out at ya giving a read 3D effect. Hats off to you Dustin,,excellent reviews,,now I should go off a shoot some icebergs seeing it’s the season here in Newfoundland..
Thank you Dustin! Another great review.
You're welcome
Great review as always, can you please do a video review between the Milvus 35 1.4 Vs the new Sigma 35 1.2 E mount? that would be a great comparison to look at .
Hi Danny, I'm afraid not. I don't have either lens on hand and there's a lot of other gear to get to.
I somehow want this lens, even tough I don’t need it! It seems like the 85 which is also not that sharp wide open, but it has a wonderful smooth drawing
It's optically gorgeous, for sure!
I tested the 85mm Milvus, but didn't buy it, because of (imho unacceptable) light fall-off at f1.4 and f2
@@stefdevos4771 Heavy vignette is not unusual on Zeiss lenses.
Excellent review! Thanks
You're welcome.
Thanks Dustin to put so much effort into your videos. I got a question regarding the focussing on Canon DSLR. Is the focus always spot on? Because with Nikon it is not. I hope the the Z series will make ad difference though.
It will be a much, much easier proposition with the Z series. The ability to magnify the image in the viewfinder and visually confirm focus makes it a treat, or you can use MF aids.
Would have been interesting to see a couple of tests under controlled lighting; mainly to establish differences in transmission and vignette. My gut feel is that the Zeiss has worse transmission, which would lead to the general trend of 1/3 stop faster exposure time on many of the Canon shots.
Also, if you darken the Canon shots by the appropriate exposure level then the Canon darks would become darker and lead to a more punchy look. (With the Lightroom eyedropper you can hover over an element in the image and check the RGB values to confirm differences in brightness.)
I will upgrade my Zeiss 35mmF2.0 to Zeiss Mivus 35mmF1.4 for wood land next year
It's a lovely lens.
Did I make a mistake buying the 35/2 instead of the 35/1.4? It is still under a 30 day return policy so I can exchange it.
That depends. The 1.4 is amazing, but it's big and heavy compared to the 2/35. It's all about your priorities.
Dustin Abbott landscape mostly at f8-11
Stick with what you have, then
Dustin Abbott I played around with the 35/2 and while it is true the images I've taken at 5.6 for landscape are tremendous. However, while playing around the yard with the lens at f2 the green/purple color in the defocus are was pretty severe. LR corrected it, but I am sending it back to B&H and getting the 35/1.4. I am 6'0" 235 so the weight of the lens is a no issue for me even at age 65. Thanks for your reviews. They are very helpful. My 135/2 arrives Tuesday.
Great video Dustin !!! When will you review the zeiss milvus 25mm f1.4 ? :)
When Zeiss gets it to me. Call them up and complain, as I've tried on three occasions to get them to get it to me and it keeps falling through.
@Stephane I got the milvus25 a year ago and I’m still extremely happy with! Apart from the strong Vignette, the enormous price and weight, the 25 is near perfect. It is sharper than the Milvus85 and on par with the 135 in almost any way. I wish my skills as a photographer would be as good as that lens:-)
Hmmm, all the strides Canon has made with autofocus out the window. To each their own, but a nice series of reviews all the same. Well done as usual.
Thank you!
Great video! Do you have any plans to review Milvus 25mm f1.4? I would really appreciate it if you did. Thanks!
I've tried about half a dozen times to set up that review, and for some reason Zeiss hasn't been delivering.
Dustin Abbott Thanks for your reply. Umm... there may be something they don’t want you to find out about by reviewing it. Anyway I hope they will deliver eventually.
I doubt that is the case, but my formerly reliable contact within the organization has gone silent on me. Their distributor here in Canada is great, but they don’t get a lot of loaners because of their volume.
Many cinematographers are using Milvus or Otus and ever since the Milvus 25mm f1.4 came out the Otus 28mm f1.4 has become a hard sell. So maybe this is it. Zeiss are not in a hurry to promote the Milvus 25mm. You don't see many mention of this lens from reviewers that get to loan from Zeiss and other manufacturers so you might not be alone.
Would you recommend milvus Ef for professional video even though the iris is not manual?
That depends on whether or not aperture racking is important to you.
This video I have seen more than 10 times. Whenever i feel like i should buy best lens from canon 35mm f1.4ii through my hardly earned money, I watch this video again and concludes I should not buy anything but be happy with my canon 16-35mm f4 :D
An f/4 lens isn't really comparable to a f/1.4 lens in the way that I use them, at least. Still, getting the best out of what you already own is always a good idea.
Dustin Congratulations on this and all your other reviews. I really enjoy watching them. From what you show in this shootout the differences between these lenses are marginal. If I had the money I would buy the Canon - you just couldn't use the Zeiss on working jobs..
+George Livanos and that is the reason I try to show the data in detail. Some will see what you are saying, and others will think that that little bit of extra from the Zeiss is worth the money and extra effort
Vs milvus f/2 ??
I don't think I reviewed the Milvus 35mm F2, actually.
Great video - you deserve so many more viewers unlike that 'Moaning Photographer' Etc. Would be interesting to compare this against the Zeiss 35 1.4 ZM (Leica mount) lens.....
Thanks for the kind feedback.
Do you mean the 'Angry Photographer'? I find him hard work. And I find Christopher Frost's review of this lens, especially the conclusion, bizarre.
Where is the Forest Mr. Dustin?
+Vergil20xx it is in Petawawa, Ontario, Canada
It looks great. I am a new director but the illuminati(your pm that is very cunning) crisis blew away my dreams. It would be a great place to shoot wow . Thank you.
Old nikkor, Leica and many older style low count on elements lens will all do this, voigtlander cv current lens.
MIcro contrast! Thanks for the gr8 review....
+Matthew White Thanks for the feedback.
Which 35mm old nikkor low count element will do all this ?
Ohh it 's beacuse canon camera software destroys the 3d contrast
Not quite sure what you are referring to?
Hello. Th eimage difference if they mount a native lens a native system is activated and messes with the result
that tamron 45mm could it be considered professional? the far view looks more cinematic than the zeiss
I don't think this is true, actually. I've never heard this from the Zeiss people...ever.
I like the Tamron 45 for video with one exception - it has a fair bit of CA. Other than that, I really appreciate being able to focus in very closely. It gives more versatility in video work. I do like the rendering.
Switched off when heard music. Nobody who has music taste like that can I hear it discerning audiovisual review from
Your loss.
@@DustinAbbottTWI sorry, twee, banjo, ukulele doesn’t sound very, is Zeiss. This is a rocksolid piece of feedback probably I’m voicing what people are not saying I’m just giving you some positive feedback but it’s not personal about you as a human being just something a little bit less corny would be easier for people it’s a technical subject, not children playing in the park or kittens or puppies. If it was that this music would be spot on you can take this feedback as some guidance we can be personally offended which is not intended to be
A good review of a technologically backward Zeiss lens. Insanely overpriced and they cant even figure out how to put autofocus in this over weight behemoth.
LOL - I don't think they were trying to put AF in this lens...and I don't think either Canon or Nikon are interested in Zeiss producing autofocusing lenses for their systems!
And videographers should not be using autofocus!
He won’t say it but this Milvus 35mm is not up to Zeiss reputation. Garbage.
I disagree. It's not the tops in sharpness, but it has the nicest rendering that I've seen from a 35mm.
