Sony G Master SEL50150GM 50-150mm
The world’s first constant f/2 zoom reaching 150mm delivers prime-like sharpness, aided by 19 elements with 5 ED and 2 aspherical lenses plus Nano AR Coating II. Internal zoom, weather sealing, and an 11-blade diaphragm produce exquisite bokeh, making the 1340g lens a reliable, refined tool for controlled shoots. Best for portrait photographers (92/100) and video cinematographers (90.2/100) who need a fast telephoto zoom with unwavering autofocus.
