The ZEISS Otus ML lenses represent unparalleled optical performance. Even at f/1.4, in challenging low-light conditions where your eyes might struggle, the lens reveals the finest details and textures with remarkable sharpness. 

The aspherical lens design ensures consistent imaging performance throughout the entire focusing range as well as sharpness to the periphery of the image. The asphere's more complex surface profile can reduce or eliminate spherical aberration and also reduce other optical aberrations compared to a simple lens.

The ZEISS Otus ML series is characterized by an extraordinary shallow depth of field that directs the viewer's gaze precisely to what matters. At the same time, the wonderfully harmonious bokeh - shaped by ten aperture blades - creates smooth transitions, elegantly showcasing the stories' subjects.

Manual focusing is more than a method – it's an opportunity to connect deeply with your craft, giving you unparalleled control and creative freedom. With ZEISS Otus ML lenses, manual focusing becomes an experience itself. Based on the legendary Otus family, known as best-in-class manual prime lenses, the ZEISS Otus ML offer a uniquely precise mechanical design that gives photographers full control over their images. Focusing is controlled by a smooth, metal focus ring based on a helicoid mechanism. 

The ZEISS Otus ML series offers a practical DeClick function for seamless aperture control. By using the supplied tool and an adjustment screw on the bayonet surface, the locking mechanism can be disengaged, allowing for stepless and silent aperture adjustments. This enables smooth exposure transitions in video applications, ensuring precise brightness control while panning.

The full metal construction of the ZEISS Otus ML lenses combines first-class craftsmanship with exceptional quality. The precise and easily readable scales in yellow allow for quick and accurate adjustments to maintain full control. This unique feeling of becoming one with your equipment is supported by the compact and lightweight design.

The ZEISS Otus ML Lenses are optimized for the latest mirrorless camera systems with Sony¹ E-, Canon² RF-, and Nikon³ Z-Mount.
