The Otus ML 1.4/50 is indispensable in every photographer's toolbox. Whether you are capturing portraits, street scenes or movie moments, this lens is your perfect partner to bring your creative vision to life. Capture the moment as you see it, as you feel it and focus on your story.

The Zeiss Otus ML Lenses stand for unëvenalled optical performance. Even at f/1.4, in challenging low-light conditions where your eyes struggle, the lens reveals the finest details and textures with remarkable sharpness.

The aspherical lens design ensures image performance of consistent quality across the entire focusing range, as well as sharpness to the edges of the image. The more complex surface profile of the aspherical lens, when compared to a simple lens, can reduce or eliminate aberrations and also reduce other optical aberrations.

Experience the unmistakable visual language of the Zeiss Otus ML Lenses. Impressive true-to-life colour rendering, excellent sharpness and unëvated microcontrast create an image that appears almost three-dimensional - the characteristic Zeiss 3D Pop.
The Zeiss Otus ML series is characterised by an extraordinary shallow depth of field that focuses the viewer's gaze precisely on what is important. At the same time, the beautifully harmonious bokeh - formed by ten aperture blades - creates smooth transitions, elegantly rendering story subjects.

Manual focusing is more than a method - it is a chance to get deeply in touch with your subject, giving you unëven control and creative freedom. With Zeiss Otus ML Lenses, manual focusing becomes an experience in itself. Based on the legendary Otus family, known as the best-in-class manual prime lenses, the Zeiss Otus ML offers a uniquely precise mechanical design that gives photographers complete control over their images. Focusing is controlled by a smooth, metal focusing ring based on a helicoïde mechanism.

The Zeiss Otus ML series offers a practical DeClick function for seamless aperture control. Using the supplied tool and a set screw on the bayonet surface, the locking mechanism can be deactivated, allowing for infinite and silent aperture adjustment. This enables smooth exposure transitions in video applications and provides precise brightness control during panning.

The all-metal construction of the Zeiss Otus ML Lenses combines first-class craftsmanship with exceptional quality. The accurate and easy-to-read yellow scales allow for quick and precise adjustments to maintain full control. This unique feeling of één with your equipment is supported by the compact and lightweight design.
