For those of you who can't stomach the idea of letting the camera focus for you, Zeiss has a perfect trio of lenses for the purist photographer. Their new Milvus lenses are built for high-end Nikon and Canon DSLR bodies and feature three focal lengths: two super wide 15mm and 18mm lenses with an f/2.8 aperture and a speedy 135mm telephot with an f/2 aperture that will deliver some serious bokeh and is perfect for portraits.
