Designed for Hybrid Shooters

As a lens equally suited for photography and filmmaking purposes, the 50-150mm f/2 GM has a number of useful features in its design to benefit its hybrid use:

Four XD (extreme dynamic) linear motors generate fast and responsive AF performance that's equally quiet and smooth. The focusing system is compatible with continuous shooting speeds up to 120 fps or high-speed video recording at up to 240 fps.
Internal focusing design promotes quicker focusing speeds and maintains the lens length during use.
Internal zoom maintains the overall length of the lens during operation, as well as keeps a consistent center of gravity for easier use on a gimbal or tripod.

Focus breathing has been greatly reduced optically and the lens supports the Breathing Compensation function in select cameras to effectively eliminate angle of view shifts while changing the zoom position.
Manual aperture ring offers tactile exposure control and the ring can be de-clicked for smooth and silent iris pulls or it can be locked in the 'A' position for camera-based aperture switching.

Portable and Nimble Design

Despite its huge maximum aperture and versatile range, this 50-150mm f/2 still manages a portable, relatively lightweight design that's suitable for handheld shooting and everyday use.

Measuring 7.9" long and weighing about 3 lb, this lens is nearly the same size and approximately 30% heavier than the FE 70-200mm f/2.8 GM OSS II while managing to be twice as bright.
Two programmable focus hold buttons and a focus mode switch for intuitive focus control.
Dust- and moisture-resistant design includes rubber gaskets at each seam and a rubber ring sealing the lens mount for ensured use when working in inclement weather conditions.

Hybrid construction uses both metal and plastic components to maximize both durability and a low weight design.
Front lens element has a fluorine coating that repels water, oil, and other contaminants and makes the lens easier to clean.
Included lens hood features a locking button and a filter window for easier adjustment of rotating filters (e.g. polarizers, variable NDs).
