Absolutely love this lens...

This lens is what started my love for zeiss glass when I had the nikon d810. When you pick this up first time you notice just how beautiful it is constructed and how solid it feels. Once you take your first picture you will understand just how amazing it is. I've probably never used such a butter smooth focus ring before; totally adds to the experience! Now that I've switched over to a sony a7riii I use it with MF adapters (commlite). There is simply no better lens that I've shot with that has such exquisite rendering, colors and sharpness. The voigtlander 21mm nokton f/1.4 comes close to it. What's also truly amazing is how little vignetting there is. This lens also is a brighter lens when I compared it to my voigtlander 21mm nokton f/1.4 for sony e. The coma performance is also really great. On top of that it has nice sunstars and rarely gives much lens flares at all (I do not typically use filters when shooting sunsets as they can cause problems other than just an ND filter). One has to shoot with this lens to really see and feel just how incredible it is. My only con of the lens is it's weight and that's to be expected for a solid metal built lens that has quiet a lot of glass inside. This is a lens that you own for life and cherish each moment with. I've attached some of the best pictures I've gotten with it.

Milvus 25mm f1.4 ZF.2

I was surprised how well the Milvus 25mm f1.4 built. It reminded me the Otus lens that I owned except it is much smaller and lighter plus cheaper.The focus ring is just as good as the Otus as well.I will look into buying the Milvus 35mm f1.4 as well.Milvus 25mm f1.4
