With the same optical formula as the Zeiss ZF.2/ZE 135mm f/2 APO-Sonnar but improved lens coatings, the Zeiss Milvus 135mm f/2 drops the APO designation, this being the new naming approach and not one I’m a fan of, but there it is.
The Milvus badge means the Milvus ergonomics and weather sealing, a big plus for the 135/2, which I can testify to by direct handling.
