Impressive build and image quality. Produces a lovely bokeh. It's not that heavy for a f1.4 lens. I am used to using manual focus and lack of AF is not a negative.

ZEISS is expanding its Otus ML lens family with the introduction of the new ZEISS Otus ML 1.4/35.
This manual-focus lens is designed for photographers who live to tell visual stories with deliberate narratives – from street and travel to documentary work. Inspired by the legendary Otus lineage, the ML generation brings ZEISS’ renowned optical excellence and mechanical precision to the latest mirrorless systems, with mounts available for Sony E, Canon RF and Nikon Z.
The ZEISS Otus ML series continues to deliver natural color rendition, exceptional sharpness, and signatured micro contrast. A fast f/1.4 aperture provides accurate depth of field control, directing the viewer’s attention with clarity while producing a soft, elegant bokeh that separates subjects from the background.
An advanced aspherical Distagon lens design minimizes distortion and chromatic aberrations, further enhancing image fidelity. Combined with the legendary ZEISS T coating, reflections are reduced, flare is minimized, and both contrast and color accuracy are elevated.
Manual focusing with the ZEISS Otus ML series is not just a technique – it is an artistic process. Photographers can make precise adjustments that ensure each shot is captured with intention. True to the ZEISS legacy of precision optics, the Otus ML 1.4/35 features millimetre-accurate control. The tech becomes invisible, giving you more creativity to tell the stories that matter.
Engineered for exceptional performance even at f/1.4, the ZEISS Otus ML lenses reveal remarkable detail and texture, especially in low-light environments where the human eye begins to struggle. Distortion and chromatic aberrations are effectively reduced, resulting in sharper images and cleaner color transitions.
Otus ML lenses deliver the unmistakable ZEISS visual language. Their combination of true color reproduction, outstanding sharpness, and unparalleled micro-contrast creates images with an almost three-dimensional character. Subjects stand out with powerful presence, separated smoothly from the background by a beautifully rendered bokeh shaped through a 10-blade aperture.
The new ML design features a smooth metal focus ring with helicoid mechanism, providing a precise rotation range that enhances focusing accuracy. An aperture de-click option allows seamless and quiet transitions—ideal for both photography and videography.
Built with a full-metal construction, the lenses deliver exceptional durability and a premium tactile feel. Optimized for modern mirrorless cameras, they offer a uniquely connected shooting experience. Clearly marked yellow scales ensure quick, accurate adjustments in any environment.
