Sony FE 50-150mm f/2 G Master review: a world-first speed thriller of telephoto zoom

Sony FE 50-150mm f/2 G Master product shot.

Sony G Master lenses have earned an excellent reputation for image quality and all-around performance since they emerged as Sony’s top-tier glass back in 2016. Nearly 10 years down the line, some of the originals have been reinvented in Mark II versions, but the 50-150mm is something altogether new and different. Indeed, it’s a world's first with its combination of zoom range and aperture rating. So what’s the big deal?

Well, 70-200mm f/2.8 ‘trinity’ telephoto zoom lenses are firm favorites with many photographers, especially those shooting weddings and events, where the versatility of this kind of lens really comes up trumps. Naturally, the 50-150mm is a whole f/stop faster, able to deliver a tighter depth of field at all correlating focal lengths.
