The king of G-Master tele zoom with constant F2 aperture, equivalent with Prime performance

Developed for creators who want next-generation versatility and expression, this telephoto zoom is the worlds first*1 with a maximum focal length of 150 mm and F2 aperture. Smooth bokeh works with telephoto compression for creative portraits, and the large aperture is ideal for indoor events. All of this plus internal zoom in an agile lens that weighs just 1,340 g (47.3 oz), without tripod base.

Supreme G Master optics

Resolution that rivals prime lenses*2

• Two precision XA (extreme aspherical) elements in an innovative optical design, plus advanced manufacturing and carefully controlled aberration, deliver resolution that approaches high-quality prime lenses*2 throughout the image area at all apertures, including F2. This superb lens brings out the best in the latest high-resolution camera bodies.
• *2. Sony tests.

Outstanding clarity and contrast

• Two Super ED (Extra-low Dispersion) and three ED glass elements minimise both longitudinal and lateral chromatic aberration for exceptionally sharp imagery without colour bleeding. Contrast and clarity are further enhanced by Nano AR Coating II that effectively suppresses flare and ghosting even when a strong light source appears in the frame.

Advanced AF performance

Fast, precise AF and tracking

• Four precision XD (extreme dynamic) linear motors drive the focus group for fast, accurate, quiet focusing that maximises the AF performance potential of modern camera bodies. Tracking easily keeps up with the 120 fps*3 maximum burst speed of the 9 III and is consistently reliable even while zooming. Perfect for professionals who must get the shot.
• *3. Sony test conditions. Maximum continuous shooting speed may be lower in some conditions. Continuous shooting speed may vary in the AF-C focus mode.

Exquisite bokeh makes subjects stand out

• A number of innovations contribute to outstanding resolution and bokeh, including a new 11-blade circular aperture and two precision XA (extreme aspherical) lens elements that effectively suppress onion-ring bokeh. Bokeh is unusually smooth and creamy for a zoom lens. Telephoto compression and shallow depth of field contribute to memorable images.

Get close for stunning detail

• With a maximum magnification of 0.2x and minimum focus distances of 0.4 m (1.32 ft) at wide and 0.74 m (2.43 in) at telephoto, close-up performance is superb. This lightweight 50-150 mm zoom can be used handheld to shoot small items at weddings without having to change lenses, for example. Floating focus ensures excellent sharpness.

Refined expression for movies

Refined expression for movies

• The latest lens technology minimises focus breathing for refined movie imagery. Rack focus and zoom effects can be used with F2 depth of field to create natural transitions that smoothly guide the viewers eye. Critical focus for high in rate 4K 120p/FHD 240p*4 recording is easy, and the entire system operates with minimal noise and vibration.
• *4. Depending on the camera and settings used.

Smooth operation for movie capture

• Linear Response MF ensures that the focus ring responds directly and linearly to subtle control when focusing manually. An internal zoom mechanism minimises centre of gravity shift so gimbal mounting is easy, and the breathing compensation*5 and Active Mode image stabilization functions provided in compatible bodies are supported.
• *5. See camera compatibility info at: https://www.sony.net/dics/breathing/ Angle of view and image quality may change slightly when this function is [ON]. Effective compensation may not be achieved in all situations.

Professional control and reliability

Professional control and reliability

• Operability is enhanced by an aperture ring with click ON/OFF and lock switches, three assignable focus hold buttons, and a DMF switch that enables temporary switchover to manual focus while using AF. Ample clearance is provided for the camera grip. The lens accepts standard 95 mm filters, and the tripod foot has 1/4 and 3/8 screw holes.

Robust and reliable in the field

• Buttons and switches sealed with silicone gaskets, a rubber ring that seals the lens mount, an internal zoom mechanism, and other measures prevent the incursion of dust and moisture even in challenging outdoor conditions*6. The front element features a fluorine coating that repels contaminants and makes the lens easier to clean.
• *6. Not guaranteed to be 100% dust and moisture proof.

Our responsibility

Environmentally conscious

• Sonys environmental plan Road to Zero aims for a zero environmental footprint by 2050. The environmental footprint of this product has been minimised from development through supply chain, production, and packaging. We are also transitioning to non-plastic packaging materials. Plant-based non-woven fabrics are used for product bags.
