Sony SEL50150GM flagship G-Master internal tele zoom with constant F2 aperture FE 50-150mm F2 GM Lens - White

Sony SEL50150GM flagship G-Master internal tele zoom with constant F2 aperture FE 50-150mm F2 GM Lens – White

The king of G-Master tele zoom with constant F2 aperture, equivalent with Prime performance

Developed for creators who want next-generation versatility and expression, this telephoto zoom is the world’s first*1 with a maximum focal length of 150 mm and F2 aperture. Smooth bokeh works with telephoto compression for creative portraits, and the large aperture is ideal for indoor events. All of this plus internal zoom in an agile lens that weighs just 1,340 g (47.3 oz), without tripod base.

Supreme G Master™ optics

Resolution that rivals prime lenses*2

Two precision XA (extreme aspherical) elements in an innovative optical design, plus advanced manufacturing and carefully controlled aberration, deliver resolution that approaches high-quality prime lenses*2 throughout the image area at all apertures, including F2. This superb lens brings out the best in the latest high-resolution camera bodies.

Outstanding clarity and contrast

Two Super ED (Extra-low Dispersion) and three ED glass elements minimise both longitudinal and lateral chromatic aberration for exceptionally sharp imagery without colour bleeding. Contrast and clarity are further enhanced by Nano AR Coating II that effectively suppresses flare and ghosting even when a strong light source appears in the frame.

Exquisite bokeh makes subjects stand out

A number of innovations contribute to outstanding resolution and bokeh, including a new 11-blade circular aperture and two precision XA (extreme aspherical) lens elements that effectively suppress onion-ring bokeh. Bokeh is unusually smooth and creamy for a zoom lens. Telephoto compression and shallow depth of field contribute to memorable images.

Get close for stunning detail

With a maximum magnification of 0.2x and minimum focus distances of 0.4 m (1.32 ft) at wide and 0.74 m (2.43 in) at telephoto, close-up performance is superb. This lightweight 50-150 mm zoom can be used handheld to shoot small items at weddings without having to change lenses, for example. Floating focus ensures excellent sharpness.

Advanced AF performance

Fast, precise AF and tracking

Four precision XD (extreme dynamic) linear motors drive the focus group for fast, accurate, quiet focusing that maximises the AF performance potential of modern camera bodies. Tracking easily keeps up with the 120 fps*3 maximum burst speed of the α9 III and is consistently reliable even while zooming. Perfect for professionals who must get the shot.

Refined expression for movies

The latest lens technology minimises focus breathing for refined movie imagery. Rack focus and zoom effects can be used with F2 depth of field to create natural transitions that smoothly guide the viewer’s eye. Critical focus for high in rate 4K 120p/FHD 240p*4 recording is easy, and the entire system operates with minimal noise and vibration.

Smooth operation for movie capture

Linear Response MF ensures that the focus ring responds directly and linearly to subtle control when focusing manually. An internal zoom mechanism minimises centre of gravity shift so gimbal mounting is easy, and the breathing compensation*5 and Active Mode image stabilization functions provided in compatible α bodies are supported.

*5. See camera compatibility info at: https://www.sony.net/dics/breathing/ Angle of view and image quality may change slightly when this function is [ON]. Effective compensation may not be achieved in all situations.

Professional control and reliability

Operability is enhanced by an aperture ring with click ON/OFF and lock switches, three assignable focus hold buttons, and a DMF switch that enables temporary switchover to manual focus while using AF. Ample clearance is provided for the camera grip. The lens accepts standard 95 mm filters, and the tripod foot has 1/4” and 3/8” screw holes.

Robust and reliable in the field

Buttons and switches sealed with silicone gaskets, a rubber ring that seals the lens mount, an internal zoom mechanism, and other measures prevent the incursion of dust and moisture even in challenging outdoor conditions*6. The front element features a fluorine coating that repels contaminants and makes the lens easier to clean.
