I own six Zeiss lenses which I use on Nikon cameras without adapter, currently D850. My heaviest lenses are Otus 55/1.4 and Sonnar 135/2 and I have no problems hand holding these lenses for prolonged times. I have no Milvus lenses, but instead their earlier zf versions (15/2.8, 25/2, 35/2, 100/2) which are much lighter than the Milvus and optically excellent. The zf 15 and 100 mm are actually optically identical to the Milvus.version . If I wanted to get an 85 mm lens, I would select the Otus over the Milvus. My most used lens is the Otus and I add one or two of the lighter lenses for travel.
