Providing unparalleled optical quality with a modernized design, the Otus ML 50mm f/1.4 Lens from ZEISS for Nikon Z-mount full-frame mirrorless camera systems is a re-imagined manual focus prime made for professionals. After not releasing a lens specifically designed for still photography in more than five years, ZEISS introduces its Otus ML-line, which delivers a more compact and portable form factor while retaining peak lens performance. Its fast maximum aperture allows users to create detailed imagery, even in dimly lit environments. The aspherical design of this lens coupled with ZEISS's Distagon engineering allow for optimal image sharpness and significantly reduced optical aberrations.
