Reviews Of The New Sony 50-150mm f/2 G Master
Lee Zavitz
“If you were looking for the ultimate portrait lens, this would be it.”
PetaPixel
“This lens is designed to be incredibly sharp all throughout its range, at pretty much any aperture you want. Look, it’s actually really easy to review lenses like this when they’re just so good optically. I can’t think of any downsides on this thing.” – Chris Niccolls
Patrick Murphy-Racey (PMR TV)
"I can't think of a better interview lens on the planet because it's always going to be the perfect focal length that's going to give you a prime look, no matter how big or small the room is you're in or how close or far you are from the subject. It's just dynamite."
Adorama
“The bokeh is just stunning. It’s easy to see why Sony’s targeting this lens to wedding and portrait photographers. Pair it with the 28-70mm f/2 GM, and you’ve got an incredibly powerful, flexible combo. Especially if you’re shooting with two bodies.” – Sal D’Alia
Gordan Laing
“It really could replace a raft of popular prime lenses for many users, including a 50, 85, and 135mm. By exploiting Sony’s latest optics, it delivers the crisp details and soft blur that we’ve come to enjoy from the best in the G Master series.”
B&H Photo Video Pro Audio
“It’s basically smushing all of the major focal distances you need for stunning portraits into one lightweight bokeh-filled package.” – Sam Fuller

“If you already have the 28-70mm f/2 GM, that is a fantastic lens and this just complements it perfectly.” – Dave Paul
Jessops
“If you are somebody who wants a portrait lens that is going to be great for those indoor events and weddings or sporting events, anywhere where you really want that crisp edge-to-edge sharpness and you want to make sure that your subject can maybe pop away from your background with some beautiful bokeh…then this is the lens for you.” – Lizzie James
Mark Galer
“Anybody who’s looking at a degree of flexibility, who doesn’t want to be carrying multiple camera bodies, carrying different G Master primes, and also just really don’t have time to change those primes, then this is going to be a very attractive telephoto zoom for that 50-150mm range.”
ZY Cheng
"This is a perfect lens for events, in my opinion. You're moving fast, you've got no time to change lenses. You need that reach and you need that bright aperture for low light. This is one whole stop brighter than f/2.8, and it's got the image quality to back it up so you don't miss your primes too much."
London Camera Exchange
“Whether you’re working with stills or video, indoors or out, in natural light or stage-lit darkness – this lens gives an exceptional creative toolkit in a single, beautifully-engineered package.”
Wex Photo Video
“In terms of what it can do, it is phenomenal.”
The Art Of Photography
“This is a focal range that most of my shooting happens within. 50mm is kind of the widest lens I end up using a lot, so to have an all-in-one portrait lens just makes a lot of sense. I think it’s a really cool addition.” – Ted Forbes
