Q: 1. Between this and the Milvus 18mm f/2.8, which is sharper?

A: The ZEISS Milvus 21mm f/2.8 ZF.2 Lens for Nikon F and the Milvus 18mm f/2.8 are equally as sharp. The difference is in the focal length.

Q: 2. I assume this will work with the canon R5 and the EF lens adapter?

A: Yes the Zeiss Milvus 25mm f/1.4 ZE Lens for Canon EF can fit an EOS R5 by way of an EF-R lens adapter.

Q: 3. Is this amp bridgeable for mono?

A: The MA255 does not support bridged mono operation.

Q: 4. is this len manual focus?

A: The ZEISS ZF.2 lenses are manual focus, but do provide communication with the camera body via a CPU. This allows for the use of various functions, including the exposure meter, various exposure modes, transfer of meta data and focus confirmation.

Q: 5. Do these lenses work with Auto Focus?

A: These are manual focus only lenses. These lenses are meant for movie production with a large crew including a focus puller to maintain focus.

Q: 6. Does this lens work fully with Nikon film cameras such as the FM3a? Meaning, does it only work in stop-down mode or does it allow full operation wide open and then close down to the set aperture at the moment of exposure?

A: The following lens will adapt to all Nikon F-Mount Lens/FX Format As well the manual aperture ring can be de-clicked.

Q: 7. With an adapter canon to sony FE, does it share metadata with a FX9, does it let the Gyro data and recognize the focal lenght?

A: From information made available to us, adapted lenses that have electronic contacts/communication will share lens EXIF metadata, such as focal length and manufacturer. In regards to Catalyst stabilization, according to Sony, the FX9's gyro-data for post-processing is recorded using the camera's gyroscope and the lens will likely have no bearing on it.

Q: 8. Can you confirm if this model has hard stop focus ring at infinity like other Zeiss models or does the focus ring move past infinity?

A: The Zeiss Otus 1.4/28 focuses beyond infinity, as does the other Otus lenses. The special glass types used in the construction of the lens are sensitive to thermal expansion, so a hard stop would cause infinity problems at high temperatures.

Q: 9. would this lens have focus conformation on the canon 5DS?

A: Confirmation. Yes. The focus points will light up when in focus.

Q: 10. Where is this lens made?

A: The Zeiss Milvus 85mm f/1.4 ZE is made in Japan.
