Sony's fastest APS-C lens, the E 15mm f/1.4 G is a bright, wide-angle 22.5mm-equivalent prime featuring advanced G Series optics and a sleek design that's ideal for travel, landscapes, and walkaround shooting. In addition to prioritizing image quality and speed, this lens also features an intuitive-to-handle design and smooth focusing performance that suits vlogging and video recording applications.
G Series Lens
  • Wide-angle prime offers a 22.5mm equivalent focal length, making it a versatile option for anything from street to landscape to travel, as well as for selfie-style vlogging needs.
  • Fast f/1.4 maximum aperture is ideal for shallow depth of field and selective focusing techniques, and also excels in low-light conditions.
  • Three aspherical elements help achieve high sharpness and suppress distortion and spherical aberrations.
  • One Super ED and two ED elements promote greater clarity and color accuracy by reducing chromatic aberrations.
  • Rounded 7-blade diaphragm contributes a smooth and natural bokeh quality.
Refined Focusing Performance
Linear Motor system uses two separate motors to provide quick, quiet, and precise autofocus and tracking performance. This design also contributes to more natural, intuitive Linear Response manual focus control and an AF/MF switch is located on the lens barrel for quick focus mode switching.
  • Internal focusing design offers more responsive focusing performance and maintains a consistent overall lens length during operation.
  • Suitable for close-up shooting, the minimum focusing distance is 6.7" with a 0.15x maximum magnification when using manual focus, or 7.9" with a 0.12x magnification when using autofocus.
  • Smooth Motion Optics (SMO) suppresses focus breathing to help maintain compositional accuracy when changing focus. This lens is also compatible with the Breathing Compensation function in select Alpha cameras.
Robust Design and Intuitive Handling
  • Dust- and moisture-resistant design suits working in inclement conditions.
  • Physical aperture ring can be de-clicked for smooth, silent aperture switching to benefit video applications.
  • Customizable focus hold button on the lens barrel for intuitive tactile control and rapid access to select settings.
  • Lens measures 2.7" long and weighs 7.7 oz, making it a great portable choice that's well-suited to the sleeker size of APS-C bodies.

Sony E 15mm f/1.4 G Reviews

This is it.

As a student filmmaker, this lens, with it's EDU pricing, has been a godsend. I personally own the Sigma 56mm f/1.4 and love the image quality, as well as its quick autofocus. However, I could never get past the nonlinear focus motors/ring. If you're a narrative filmmaker, you understand how crucial repeatable focus pulls are. If it can also do autofocus seamlessly, that's just a plus for certain use cases (Gimbal work, filming without a 1st AC to pull focus with a wireless follow focus). Therefore, when I saw this lens, although still pricier than the Sigma 16mm f/1.4 after the discount, I decided to bite the Sony bullet and have never looked back since. I absolutely adore this lens. It's gorgeously designed on the exterior, the image is phenomenal, its versatility in different light setups/situations has been incredibly clutch, and the duality of linear manual focus and fast autofocus has been an amazing experience. It has spoiled me to the point where I can't get myself to pick up a lens if it can't do both. If it's a fully manual lens, I'll consider it, but if it's an autofocus lens without linear focus, I will cross it off my list. I could play around with the aperture ring all day. It's phenomenally smooth. The focus ring is pretty smooth too, but the aperture ring takes the cake (at least for my unit, others may have a different experience). This lens works beautifully with my a6500, and cannot wait to use it with an FX30, once I upgrade this summer. So far, I have used this lens for urban street and architecture photography, a narrative short (with an a7IV in crop mode), and dance video inside of a relatively small studio. It has been an absolute workhorse in each of these use cases. Just get it. You won't regret it. This is it.

Fantastic wide angle for ASP-C

This is a fantastic wide angle for Sony ASP-C cameras. Nice and sharp throughout different apertures. Great lens for landscapes or dramatic portraiture. Also great for video with the declicking switch feature and on lens aperture selection. An AF/MF switch and assignable focus hold button rounds out the excellent features of this lens.

Sharp as a knife, small and silent: very well suited for blog work. Keep in mind there is a noticeable amount of barrel distortion which is to be expected from such a wide 15mm lens. The build quality is sturdy but not heavy and the $650 price tag is suitable. For those striving for a real blurred back drop on your Zoom calls.

Could be the perfect lens.

Thank you Sony for this amazing lens! I love APSC cameras so having an ultra wide lens option made for them is long overdue. I love all the options on this lens like aperture declick for video as well as the simplicity of going from AF to MF on the fly. I get that it's a bit pricey but nothing beats it's small size.

Good for wide angle

I wanted a wide angle lens with a wide aperature for shooting night time photos. I haven't gotten to use it for shooting the Milky Way but that's in my plan.

Fast and Sharp!

Perfect walk-around lens. Very light, sharp, and fast! Bulid quality is excellent! At first, I was hesistant because of the price, but it went down $100 off, that made me decide to buy it. A lot of features in a small lens. I'm glad Sony made this lens. Hopefully, this year they release a 24-70mm lens for APS-C.

I have the Sony A6600 with the lens Sony E ...

I have the Sony A6600 with the lens Sony E 16-55mm f/2.8 G this combination is quite sharp for me. I am planning to buy one of these two new lens E 4/PZ 10-20 G & E 1.4/15 G, which one is sharper than my old one or are they just the same?
Asked by: Johnny
Since the Sony E 15mm f/1.4 G Lens is a prime lens, not a zoom it is sharper than the Sony E 10-20mm f/4 PZ G Lens. The Sony E 15mm f/1.4 G Lens also has a wider max aperture, so it is better in low light. If you need a wide-angle lens the Sony E 10-20mm f/4 PZ G Lens will produce images with a wider angle of view.

This or Sigma 16mm 1.4 contemporary?
Asked by: Ashish
The Sony E 15mm f/1.4 G Lens is very good and does have some benefits over the Sigma version. First it does have delick f/stop feature. So, if one does shoot video it is a good feature to have. The Sony one also has on the lens an Autofocus switch and the Sigma does not.

Sony E 15mm f/1.4 G Lens won't work as a full frame lens. It is an APS-C lens so it will crop the sensor of the a7r3.
