ツァイス伝統のPlanar(プラナー)設計が出す硬すぎないレンズ

Carlzeiss Milvus 100mm f2 macroは、Milvusシリーズなのでdistagon系かと思えば、planar系の写りで、ちょうどいい解像感のレンズです。「線の細さ」と「蕩けるようなグラデーション」が両立する不思議なレンズです。
カリっとし過ぎないほど良い解像感…難しい表現ですが、被写体の素材を壊さない写り方をします。
あまりに出来が良すぎて中古市場にほとんどないんじゃないかなと…このレンズは神レンズなので誰も手放さないんじゃないかな…。

マクロの中望遠なので、どこでも使える

100mmですから屋内は近すぎると思いますが、そこはマクロレンズなので、被写体が近くてもピントは合います。
GFXでしたら、79mm換算で意外と屋内でも撮影可。F値は開放2.0ですので、暗い屋内でもシャッターはきれます。
GFXの場合、100mmだと少し狭いと感じる街角のスナップが、一気に「切り取りやすい、空気感を閉じ込めやすい画角」になり、中判の圧倒的な階調表現が、マクロプラナーのボケ味をさらに極上なものに引き上げています。

フルサイズ機設計なのですが、イメージサークルが広いので、fuji GFXのラージフォーマットでも全くケラレなしで使えます。

A Lens with Just the Right Level of Sharpness

You might expect the Carl Zeiss Milvus 2/100mm Macro to follow the Distagon lineage since it’s part of the Milvus series, but its rendering is beautifully Planar, offering just the right level of sharpness. It gives you a rendering that isn’t overly harsh or digitally crisp—it’s a difficult quality to put into words, but it captures the subject without destroying its natural texture.
It is such a masterfully crafted lens that you rarely see it on the used market. Since it’s an absolute “holy grail” of a lens, I doubt anyone would ever want to part with it.

A Telephoto Macro that Goes Anywhere

At 100mm, you might think it’s too tight for indoor shooting, but being a macro lens, it focuses effortlessly even at close distances. When paired with the GFX, it gives you a roughly 79mm equivalent field of view, making indoor shooting surprisingly manageable. With a bright maximum aperture of f/2.0, you can confidently release the shutter even in dimly lit interiors.
Furthermore, thanks to its generous image circle, it can be used on Fujifilm’s GFX large-format sensor with absolutely no vignetting.
While it is an incredibly flawless lens, if I had to find a flaw, it would be that the barrel is quite long, and you have to turn the focus ring quite a bit to achieve critical focus—enough to make your wrist a little tired.

ボケが美しすぎるレンズ

私が説明するより写真見たほうがわかりやすいですね…ボケが美しい水彩画を連想させるレンズです。
色が溶けて混ざる…もはや反則じゃないかと。
F2の開放で撮っても解像度が高く美しいです…収差とかほとんどないんじゃないかな…と感じますが。

このレンズは、「優等生なシャープさ」と「エロティックなボケ」が同居している歪さにあって、ピント面は「カミソリ」背景は「ベルベット」のような、相反する性質を持っているように感じます。

また対応できる撮影手段が多いので、表現が多種多様です。望遠+マクロ+F2なので面白い撮り方がたくさんあると思います。
しかもCarlzeissとあって写りは…。Nikon D700 / D810 / z7で使っていましたが、すべて相性がよく購入後は、つけっぱなし状態になります。そしてfuji GFXで使うと、美しいボケがさらに際立ちます。なんだこれ?って自分でびっくりします。

A Lens with Simply Too Beautiful Bokeh

Rather than me trying to explain it, looking at the photos makes it much easier to understand… The bokeh of this lens is just stunning. The colors melt and blend together so seamlessly, it almost feels like cheating. Because it’s a telephoto macro with a bright f/2.0 aperture, there is virtually no depth of field when shooting wide open. Yet, even at maximum aperture, the images are breathtaking. It feels as though optical aberrations are almost non-existent.

This combination of a telephoto focal length, macro capability, and an f/2.0 aperture unlocks so many creative expressions. On top of that, being a Carl Zeiss, the rendering power is simply incredible. I used to shoot with it on my Nikon D700, D810, and Z7—it paired perfectly with every single one of them, and once attached, it rarely left the camera body. And now, when used on the Fujifilm GFX, that beautiful bokeh becomes even more pronounced and exquisite.

F2のマクロは特別。マクロ比率は1/2だけど十分すぎる

焦点距離100mmのレンズなので、マクロ1/2でも十分寄れます。
一般的なマクロはF2.8ですが、Carlzeiss Milvus 100mm f2 macroはF2。
とろける背景との融合が美しく、ピント合わせるのが至難の業ですが、ピントリングの操作が極上レベルなので、慣れれば比較的簡単にできます。
このレンズはボケが美しすぎるので背景と被写体が綺麗に溶け合いますので、背景選びが楽しいマクロです。

通常の撮影からマクロまで全部最高レベルでこなせるレンズです。
目立つ欠点は特になく、あるとすれば、レンズが長い+若干高いぐらいでしょうか…。
ただこの価格帯のレンズにして総合点は、数あるレンズの中でもトップクラスだと思います。

もしレンズを1本づつ手放していくとしても最後の1本に残るような気がします。
街中で装着している人は見たことないです…最高のレンズなんですが。

The Macro is 1:2, But That is More Than Enough

Since it’s a lens with a 100mm focal length, even a 1:2 half-macro reproduction ratio allows you to get plenty close to your subject. At f/2.0, achieving critical focus is a monumental task, but with a little practice, you’ll get the hang of it. Because this lens produces such incredibly beautiful bokeh, the background and the subject melt together flawlessly, making the process of choosing your background an absolute joy for macro photography.

This is a lens that performs at the highest level across all scenarios—indoors, outdoors, and macro shooting alike. It doesn’t really have any noticeable flaws, other than perhaps being a bit expensive. However, for a lens in this price range, I believe its overall performance ranks among the absolute top tier of all lenses out there. If I were ever forced to part with my lenses one by one, I have a feeling this would be the very last one remaining in my hands.

透明感のある細い線で描かれる写真

男性的というより女性的な写りのレンズで、色はしっかり出ますが、くどい感じがなく美しい印象。
線が太く、図太い印象の写真や被写体には合わないような気がしますが、
ピントリングのトルクが気持ち良いレンズで、動く被写体以外はすべて対応可。ずっとつけっぱなしにできる中毒性のあるレンズ。

Imagery Rendered in Fine, Translucent Lines

This lens possesses a distinctly feminine rendering rather than a masculine aesthetic; while it yields rich, substantive colors, it leaves a beautifully refined impression devoid of any heavy saturation. It feels less suited for subjects or compositions that call for thick, assertive strokes and a bold presence. That said, the torque of the focus ring is wonderfully tactile and satisfying, making the lens capable of adapting to any scenario, save for fast-moving subjects. It is a deeply addictive piece of glass, one that easily becomes a permanent fixture on your camera body.
