High-Precision Macro and Portrait Photography for Full-Frame Canon DSLRs

The Zeiss Milvus 50mm f/2 Macro Lens for Canon EF is a premium manual-focus prime lens built to deliver exceptional clarity, contrast, and control for modern high-resolution DSLRs. Whether you're capturing the intricate detail of macro subjects or aiming for natural, lifelike portraiture, this lens is engineered for professionals who demand both optical perfection and creative precision.

Designed for High-Resolution Camera Systems

Specifically optimised for today’s advanced full-frame Canon DSLR cameras, the Milvus 50mm f/2 unlocks the full potential of ultra-high-resolution sensors. Its ability to minimise coma, astigmatism, and chromatic aberrations ensures consistently sharp, high-contrast results across the frame — making it an investment that remains future-proof for evolving digital technologies.

Exceptional Close-Up Capabilities

With a maximum 1:2 magnification ratio, the Milvus 50mm f/2 is a true macro lens ideal for capturing the tiniest details — from textures on a leaf to reflections in a droplet. It also doubles as a brilliant all-purpose lens, delivering standout performance for portraits, product photography, and fine art imagery.

Superior Manual Focus Control

Engineered with a long focus throw and ultra-smooth manual mechanics, the Milvus 50mm f/2 allows for precise, tactile focus control. Engraved scales in both feet and metres aid in repeatable accuracy, while the large, rubberised focus ring enhances usability during handheld shooting or rig-mounted video work.

Advanced Optical Performance in Every Light

Each Zeiss Milvus lens is coated with the renowned T anti-reflective coating*, reducing flare and ghosting to an absolute minimum. Additional internal blackening, light traps, and specially shaped components further eliminate stray light and reflections — perfect for working in backlit or high-contrast scenes.

Floating Elements Design for Edge-to-Edge Sharpness

Thanks to Zeiss’s Floating Elements Design, the lens maintains high image quality from close focusing distances to infinity. This complex internal mechanism adjusts the spacing of elements during focusing, ensuring constant optical performance regardless of subject distance.

Weather-Sealed, All-Metal Construction

Crafted with durability in mind, the lens features an all-metal barrel and dust- and splash-resistant seals, giving you the confidence to shoot in a wide range of conditions. Built to last, the Milvus 50mm f/2 is a reliable partner for both studio and field use.
