Sony Announces the FE 50-150mm f/2 GM
Sony just announced one of the most ambitious short telephotos that we’ve ever seen: the FE 50-150mm f/2 GM! A full-frame f/2 zoom would already be rare – for this one to reach 150mm on the long end is unique. What’s more, the lens is fairly portable at 1340 g (2.95 lbs) without the tripod foot.
