Is the zeiss milvus 50mm f 2 macro good in low light?

The Zeiss Milvus 50mm f/2 Macro is a decent low-light lens, though not a standout one. Its f/2 opening gathers plenty of light on a full frame body, and Sensor sizes explains why full frame earns its keep in dim conditions.

Be aware that it's manual focus and not stabilised, so in dim light you'll be focusing by hand and holding still. If you want more light, the Zeiss Milvus 50mm f/1.4 is a faster prime for full frame. For people in low light, primes or zooms explains why a fast prime is worth having, and my own pick is the faster 50mm for that job.
