The Zeiss Milvus 100mm f/2 Makro Lens is quite sharp in the center of the frame even wide open at f/2, but especially impressive is this lens' full frame corner image quality. While most lenses show at least some softness in outer portion of the image circle at wide apertures, this lens remains very sharp in this location. Both the site's image quality test results and the MTF measurements show this lens being similarly sharp in the corners as the center, with both being very good.

Centre sharpness is high right throughout the entire aperture range, with peak performance between f/4-f/11. F/16 and f/22 are marred slightly by diffraction. At the edges, peak performance is again achieved between f/4-f/11

Centre sharpness is high right throughout the entire aperture range, with peak performance between f/2.8-f/11. Only f/16 is marred slightly by diffraction. At the edges, peak performance is achieved between f/4-f/11
As expected:
Zeiss announced that it is discontinuing nine Classic lenses and replacing them with Milvus
- Distagon T* 2,8/15
- Distagon T* 3,5/18
- Distagon T* 2/25
- Distagon T* 2,8/25
- Distagon T* 2/28
- Distagon T* 1,4/35
- Apo Sonnar T* 2/135
Hands on
Suitable with metabone and gh4?
Why not? Just costly.

The sharpness that this lens offers is perhaps the best balance of both sharpness and softness that I need in a portrait lens. You don’t want a portrait lens to be too, too sharp. The Zeiss 55mm f1.4 Otus is the company’s sharpest, then the 85mm f1.4 Otus, then the 135mm f2 and then this one. But even so, the numbers are negligible in real life situations

The 35mm f2 is very sharp wide open, but once stopped down to f5.6 or f8 you’ll really fall in love with the sharpness. This lens exhibits almost as much sharpness as the Sigma 35mm f1.4 and the Sony 35mm f1.4, but with images right out of the camera it still isn’t totally there.
