11280

First of its kind with 150mm reach and constant F2 aperture—ideal for weddings, portraits, and cinematic video.

Sony has officially launched its latest G Master lens: the FE 50-150mm F2 GM, the world’s first telephoto zoom lens to offer a maximum focal length of 150mm paired with a wide, constant F2 aperture. Tailored for professional photographers and videographers, this lens promises remarkable performance for weddings, portraits, indoor sports, and cinematic productions.

Prime-Like Clarity, Signature G Master Bokeh

Delivering prime-lens resolution across its versatile focal range, the FE 50-150mm F2 GM incorporates two XA elements, two Super ED glasses, and three ED elements. This sophisticated internal design ensures stunning image sharpness, minimal aberration, and rich contrast throughout the zoom spectrum. A floating focus system provides a close focusing distance of just 0.4 meters, with 0.20x maximum magnification—ideal for tight portraits and detail shots.

True to the G Master name, this lens generates exceptionally smooth bokeh thanks to its constant F2 aperture and new 11-blade circular diaphragm. The result? Dreamy background separation that enhances every portrait and moment.

Built for Precision, Built to Move

Weighing just 1,340 grams and measuring under 8 inches, the FE 50-150mm F2 GM is surprisingly compact. Its internal zoom mechanism keeps the lens size consistent while zooming—perfect for gimbal users and handheld shooters seeking balance and stability.

Equipped with four XD linear motors and Sony’s latest focusing algorithms, the lens delivers fast, quiet, and pinpoint autofocus. When paired with the Alpha 9 III, users can shoot at up to 120 frames per second with real-time AF/AE tracking, making it a dream for sports and action photographers.

A Cinematic Workhorse

For filmmakers, the FE 50-150mm F2 GM includes key features like minimized focus breathing, support for Breathing Compensation on compatible Alpha bodies, and smooth Linear Response MF. Combined with whisper-quiet autofocus and internal zoom stability, this lens is a top-tier tool for video creators demanding professional-grade control and results.

Engineered for the elements, its fluorine-coated front element repels dust, moisture, and fingerprints, ensuring reliability in challenging environments.

Availability

The Sony FE 50-150mm F2 GM (model SEL50150GM) will be available in Malaysia starting May 2025.
