Description — Sony FE 50-150mm F2 GM
The Sony FE 50-150mm F2 GM is a full-frame telephoto zoom lens for the Sony E-mount mirrorless system. It spans a 50–150mm focal length range while holding a constant maximum aperture of f/2, giving photographers consistent depth-of-field control and exposure values regardless of where they zoom. The lens is part of Sony's G Master series and is aimed at professionals who need reliable performance across the telephoto range.
It accommodates 82mm front filters, making it compatible with a broad selection of standard filter systems. Autofocus and manual focus are both supported, providing flexibility for stills shooters and video operators alike. At 1,200g, the lens carries notable heft — a natural trade-off for the constant f/2 aperture across this zoom range.
Image stabilization is not included, so pairing with a stabilized body is recommended for handheld work at longer focal lengths or in low light. Designed exclusively for full-frame mirrorless use, it delivers edge-to-edge coverage on Sony's full-frame E-mount bodies.
