Sony FE 50-150mm f/2 GM Lens

Sony’s second entry in its redefinition of “holy trinity” lenses, the FE 50-150mm f/2 GM offers a faster maximum aperture across its redrawn zoom range. The approach, embodied in this lens, offers the tantalizing proposition of “three primes in one,” all without sacrificing on performance, image quality, or bokeh. G Master image quality is delivered through the optical design, where XA, Super ED, aspherical, and ED elements yield high sharpness and smooth rendering. In addition to the crucial, extra stop of light, the lens sports four XD linear motors for fast and responsive autofocus compatible with continuous shooting speeds up to 120 fps or high-speed video recording at up to 240 fps. The lens is also representative of Sony's ongoing commitment to the hybrid demands of the contemporary content landscape, with video-friendly features like an internal zoom and focusing mechanisms, focus breathing reduction, and quick and quiet autofocus.
