Zeiss Milvus 18mm f/2.8 Review

Zeiss Milvus 18mm f/2.8 Verdict

The temptation may well be there to go for the wider 15mm lens at the same price, or one of the alternative 15mm offerings. However, the Zeiss Milvus 18mm f/2.8 does offer a smaller, lighter lens that is easier to focus and handle and may even be more universally useful. It is not a lower cost option. The optical performance is virtually the same.

This leaves the lens as a very tempting option that could be a superb travel and landscape companion.
