Key Features
- F-Mount Lens/FX Format
- Aperture Range: f/1.4 to f/16
- Four Low Dispersion Elements
- One Aspherical Element
Pairing the normal focal length with a complex Distagon optical concept, the Nikon F-mount ZEISS Milvus 50mm f/1.4 ZF.2 is also characterized by its fast f/1.4 maximum aperture to provide a well-realized combination of sharpness, clarity, and shooting flexibility. The optical design incorporates four anomalous partial dispersion elements and one aspherical element to reduce chromatic aberrations and distortions for notable clarity and sharpness throughout the aperture range. A floating elements system is also employed for consistent performance when working with both near and distance subjects. An enhanced ZEISS T* anti-reflective coating has also been applied to significantly reduce ghosting and lens flare for improved contrast and color fidelity when working in difficult lighting conditions.

What is the main difference between the Milvus and the Zeiss Planar 50 1.4 ZF.2 ?
I own the classic version and the Milvus version (50mm 1.4) the Milvus is a completely new design and BLOWS away the classic version, no comparison!

I use it on a Nikon Z7 with the FTZ adapter and I don't get focus confirmation. Any suggestions?
Best bet with this would be to either use the zoom function to zoom in to check focus, or use the focus peaking mode.
