| Zeiss Milvus line of lens |
In an attempt to fend off challenge from other lens manufacturers, especially the Sigma Art series of lens, Zeiss has decided to offer a 'lower priced' line called Milvus. It is still not cheap but only time will tell whether this is a winning strategy. The current Zeiss Otus line is so over-priced and does not present a compelling reason for many photographers to own them.
The new Milvus line will be primarily fast prime lens, from 21mm to 100mm, with speeds of f/1.4 to f/2.8. Sigma has come out with a fine line of Art prime and short zoom lens in the last couple of years. Their standout 50mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art lens is especially a great value and has given the Zeiss Otus 55mm f/1.4 some real competition for a fraction of the price.
Below is a video from DigitalRev testing the Milvus 50mm and 100mm lens. I am hoping Canon will step up to the challenge and announce replacement to the EF 50mm f/1.4, EF 50mm f/1.2L and EF 24-105mm f/4L lens soon.
