50–150 Sony FE 50-150mm F2 GM

The Sony FE 50-150mm F2 GM is a zoom lens for Sony E-mount (Full frame) that covers 50-150 mm at f/2 and weighs 1340 g (without tripod mount). Next to 13 other full frame Sony E-mount zoom lenses in its focal range, it suits you if you shoot in low light or want a blurrier background, or you want a wider view at the short end. If you want more reach at the long end, or your body has no in-body stabilization or you shoot handheld video, every other one that does better on reach, or stabilization gives up brightness.

Worked out by code, not stated by a source

  • Read from the lens name: each maker marks the sensor size a lens covers (Sony FE/E, Canon RF/RF-S, Nikon DX, Tamron Di III/Di III-A, Sigma DG/DC); every Fujifilm X lens is APS-C and every Micro Four Thirds lens is Four Thirds.
  • Read from the lens name: Sony marks optically stabilized lenses OSS, Canon IS, Nikon VR, Fujifilm OIS, Panasonic O.I.S., Tamron VC and Sigma OS; a lens from these makers without the mark has no optical stabilization.
  • Prime or zoom, read from the focal length in the lens name.

  7. Filter thread0.5

    Lower wins once they are 5 mm apart.

  8. Lead for a pick1

Our pick or our take adds up the importance of each real difference, with these importances and thresholds: a gap smaller than its row's threshold is too close to call and counts as the same. They are our editorial choice, not a measurement, the same on every page, and they never read prices, sales or who sells it.
