With fully manual focus, photographers gain precise, deliberate control over focus placement—ideal for street photography, documentary work, environmental portraits, and expressive visual storytelling.
Signature ZEISS Optical Performance
Engineered with apochromatic correction, this lens effectively suppresses chromatic aberrations and color fringing, ensuring outstanding color fidelity and clarity. The renowned Distagon optical design enhances sharpness and contrast across the frame, even at wider apertures. ZEISS T* anti-reflective coatings further improve image quality by minimizing flare and ghosting, preserving detail and tonal richness in challenging lighting conditions.
Precision Engineering and Professional Durability
Built to meet the expectations of demanding photographers, the Otus ML 35mm f/1.4 features a robust all-metal construction for long-term reliability and confidence in the field. A protective blue sealing ring helps guard against dust and moisture at the mount interface. Clearly marked yellow distance and aperture scales allow fast, accurate adjustments in any environment, while the finely textured metal focus ring delivers smooth, tactile control.
Optimized for Both Photo and Video
A 10-blade diaphragm creates smooth, pleasing background blur, making this lens especially effective for portraiture and subject isolation. The de-clickable aperture ring enables silent, seamless exposure adjustments—an essential feature for video capture. A dedicated petal-shaped lens hood is included to reduce stray light and help maintain consistent image quality without introducing vignetting.
Combining legendary ZEISS optics with precision manual control and rugged construction, the Otus ML 35mm f/1.4 is an exceptional choice for photographers and filmmakers who demand uncompromising image quality and creative control.
