A 50-150mm f/2.0 lens from Sony? Yep, it’s real—and it’s WILD.
In this hands-on test, we take the ultra-rare Sony 50-150mm f/2.0 lens out for a full field review to see if it lives up to the hype. With a constant f/2.0 aperture and an unusually versatile zoom range, this lens promises dreamy bokeh, beautiful compression, and pro-level performance in low light. But is it really insane? Or just overkill?
Watch as we push this lens through a real-world portrait session, low-light shooting, and outdoor environmental photography to find out what it can actually do.
