Video Description

Sony’s new 50-150mm f/2 GM lens goes head-to-head with one of the most beloved all-in-one zooms for hybrid creators: the Tamron 35-150mm f/2-2.8. In this video, Dunna compares them side by side to see if Sony’s $3900 powerhouse really outperforms the $1700 favorite in real-world use.
