I have owned both the ZF.2 and the milvus of this lens.
The zf.2 is better looks and build. THe milvus has a rubber ring, and the outer material shows fingerprints.
With that said the Milvus version is noticeably better. Better Color/Contrast, less flare and just overall better.
THe Milvus also can be smaller without the removable hood and takes 95mm filters without having to pay $300 to zeiss to cut your lens.
Both lenses are great but if you want the best image quality and can afford either one go for the Milvus. FOr me image quality/Use is more important than looks/build.
Thanks for your review.
I can afford both.
However, IMO, the qualitative difference is negligible, while the Distagon T* will retain the greater re-sale value. The contrast and resolving power are equivalent, and whatever negligible advantage the Milvus offers (1) isn't worth the $1,000 increase in price, and (2) is only at f/8, not at f/4-8.
The Distagon actually performs better wide-open and esp @ f/4
