Sony FE 50-150mm f2 GM Lens

Sony's FE 50-150mm f2 GM lens is a uniquely fast and flexible normal-to-short telephoto zoom that features an impressive constant f2 aperture throughout the zoom range. It's a top choice for portrait, wedding, event, and indoor sports photography, and an excellent option for creatives who want to replace multiple prime lenses with a single high-performance zoom without compromising on speed or image quality. As part of Sony's elite G Master lineup, this lens delivers top-tier resolution, buttery smooth bokeh, and fast, responsive performance. The wide f2 aperture, a full stop brighter than the common f2.8, provides better low-light capability and enhanced control over depth of field and background separation.

Built with XA, Super ED, ED, and aspherical elements, the lens produces high sharpness and beautifully rendered images suitable for everything from architecture and landscapes to portraits and events. Sony's Nano AR Coating II helps reduce flare and ghosting, ensuring vivid contrast and vibrant color even in challenging light. A floating focus system ensures edge-to-edge clarity across the focus range, from infinity down to its minimum distance of 1.3 feet, while the 11-blade rounded diaphragm produces pleasing, circular bokeh.

Optimized for both still photography and video, the lens features four XD linear motors for fast, silent autofocus, capable of keeping up with 120 fps continuous shooting or video recording at up to 240 fps. Its internal focusing and zoom mechanisms maintain the lens's overall length, helping with balance - especially useful when mounted on a gimbal or tripod. Focus breathing is minimized optically and electronically, with full support for Sony's Breathing Compensation feature. The manual aperture ring can be de-clicked for smooth iris adjustments, and the zoom torque can be set to smooth or tight for personalized control.

Weighing in at approximately 3 pounds and measuring 7.9 inches in length, the lens is surprisingly compact given its brightness and zoom range. It's about the same size but only slightly heavier than the FE 70-200mm f/2.8 GM OSS II, while offering double the light-gathering power. Thoughtful design elements include a de-clickable and lockable aperture ring, dual customizable focus hold buttons, a zoom torque selector, and a durable hybrid metal/plastic build. It's also built to handle the elements, with weather-sealing throughout and a fluorine-coated front element to resist moisture, oil, and dust. The included lens hood has a locking mechanism and a window to adjust filters like polarizers or VNDs with ease.
