Pros: Constant f/2.0 aperture, Excellent sharpness throughout the focal range, Creamy and natural bokeh, Fast, precise and quiet autofocus, Robust and tropicalized construction, Excellent control of chromatic aberrations and distortions
Cons: Important weight and size, High price, non-traditional focal range (requires a bit of adaptation for those who are used to the classic 70-200mm), Absence of optical stabilization (entrusted to the camera sensor) and not compatible with teleconverters. If someone uses filters, they risk paying as much as the optics themselves given the required diameter.
Opinion: The Sony FE 50-150mm f/2.0 GM is a lens that breaks the mold and is aimed at professional photographers looking for top-of-the-line optical performance, particularly for portrait, events, and weddings. The constant f/2.0 aperture throughout the focal length offers superior creative control: the blur is soft, three-dimensional and immersive, while the ability to separate the subject from the background is excellent even in difficult lighting conditions. The autofocus is responsive and accurate even with moving subjects, supported by the advanced tracking technology of the latest Sony mirrorless cameras (I use it on the A9III). The build quality is in line with the GM series: solid, professional and ready to face even shooting in complex weather conditions. However, it must be said that the weight is felt during long sessions and that the unusual focal range can initially be unsettling for those who are used to 70-200mm standards. In addition, the price places it in a premium range, but justified by the performance it offers. In summary, it is a lens that enhances creativity, designed for those who want to stand out and achieve results of the highest level in every situation. It's not for everyone, but those who choose it know exactly what they want: quality without compromise. Or versatility, like me, who decided to sell 50 1.2 GM, 35 1.4 GM, 85 1.4 GMII to stay with this zoom. Now I find myself with two A9IIIs, the 28-70 f2 and the 50-150 f2: without going crazy carrying a thousand lenses and changing constantly, often losing many shots, I have a very high level of equipment in two lenses. Always desired, finally possible even on full frame. |
