Innovative optical design and construction deliver unparalleled performance. Two precision XA (extreme aspherical) elements in a state-of-the-art optical design, combined with meticulously controlled aberrations, provide stunning resolution at all apertures, including F2. Two Super ED (extra-low dispersion) elements and three ED glass elements minimize chromatic aberration, while the Nano AR Coating II prevents flare and ghosting.
Developed for creators who need flexibility and next-generation ways to express themselves, this telephoto zoom lens is the world's first lens with a maximum focal length of 150 mm and an F2 aperture. Its deep background blur (bokeh) combines with telephoto compression for creative portraits, while the wide aperture is ideal for capturing indoor events. On top of all this, it offers internal zoom in a versatile lens weighing just 1,340 g.
The resolution you’d expect from a high-quality prime lens

Outstanding portability and handling in an F2 telephoto zoom lens
This large-aperture telephoto zoom lens is easy to handle, weighing just 1,340 g (47.3 oz., without the tripod collar) and measuring 200 mm (7-7/8 inches) in length. Despite its large aperture, you can shoot handheld with minimal strain. The internal zoom delivers excellent balance, making the lens ideal for indoor sports and similar subjects. The 50–150 mm range lets you keep shooting without interruption, eliminating the need to change lenses in many situations.
Fast, highly accurate autofocus and tracking for subject tracking
Four high-precision XD (extreme dynamic) linear motors drive the focus group, delivering fast, quiet, highly precise focusing that maximizes the autofocus performance of modern camera bodies. Tracking easily keeps up with the a9 III’s maximum burst rate of 120 fps and remains stable and reliable even while zooming. It is the ideal lens for professionals whose work depends on getting the shot right.
Advanced expression and functionality for movies
Focus breathing is effectively reduced for smooth cinematic footage, while linear response manual focus enables highly precise manual focusing for maximum sharpness and resolution. Fast focus and zoom transitions can be used with an F2 depth of field to create natural shifts that guide the viewer’s eye. Critical focus for high-frame-rate 4K 120p/FHD 240p recording is easily achieved, and the entire system operates with minimal noise and vibration.
Professional Handling and Reliability
Functionality is enhanced by an aperture ring with a click on/off switch and a locking switch, three assignable focus hold buttons, and a DMF switch that allows you to temporarily switch to manual focus while using autofocus. Although this is a relatively large lens, there is plenty of room for gripping the camera. The detachable tripod foot has 1/4-inch and 3/8-inch screw holes, while the dust- and moisture-resistant design ensures maximum reliability.
