Sony E 15mm F1.4 G APS-C Large-Aperture Wide-Angle G Lens

This is a superb pro-level upgrade from the "kit" lens that usually ships with Sony A6000 DSLRs. Highly-rated, if a little pricey.Since the camera is 3/4 format, the15mm focal length is equivalent to a 24mm wide angle on a full-frame camera. Great for shooting events, landscapes and family gatherings.The big f1.4 aperture allows a great deal of light and nice "bokeh" for shots where you prefer a blurred background. Sharpness is top-notch edge to edge.I purchased it with the accessories kit mainly because it provided a Vivitar UV filter which I installed for its protective quality.

I've had a handful of lenses for Sony cameras; the ZV-E10 and FX30.My first vlogging lens was the Sony 11mm f1.8 and it was a solid lens overall, but I found it to be too wide and lacking in other features.This 15mm G Master on the other hand? Hands down winner!The focal distance is great, about as perfect as one can expect, for vlogging. Even with active steady shot enabled, you're able to manage a decent shot handheld or with a handheld tripod. Speaking of handheld, this is light and fairly easily portable.Key features that put this lens above others, both competing brands and Sony lenses, are the f1.4 for that creamy bokeh, and the option of the manual aperture ring. Being able to quickly twist and adjust exposure while you're on the go is amazing. I think this feature is a must have for me going forward.If you're on the fence with this one, just buy it. You're going to love it. Plus, it can be had used/open box at a highly competitive price.

Overall, pretty happy with this purchase. I was a little skeptical at first because when you look at the lens, it's pretty small, unlike other fast prime lenses which you see that they have large lenses that can let a lot of light through. But i guess for the size of the sensor on my A6500 it's plenty good enough. The price is pretty steep for a single wide angle prime lens, this lens at 15mm x 1.5 is at 22-23mm normally so wider then a 35mm but not super wide angle which like most bloggers would say is what they like. As i seen other reviews, it works well as an all around lens to go sight seeing with, you can capture wider scenery, selfies with background that doesn't get cut off, then as weather turns or night approaches, it works well in low light situations which my other g zoom lenses couldn't do at f/4 easily. So i have a zoom 18-105 G, 55-210 i think, and a 10-18 wide angle, but none are great a very low light settings (hand held), the 15mm i held in a pre-dawn dark room and took some snaps like it was mid-day hand held with no blur at all. Clarity is good at edges. When ordering it always says 1 or 2 left, but as soon as i ordered it, they sold it again now with included uv filter (protector). Dang, i wish they sent me one for free, just a day late. Oh well, my lens set is complete for what i need it for, mainly amateur sight seeing and travel photography, now that i have a better low light lens, can capture some of those fireworks and other dark/light night city scenery a lot better then my all in one zooms and can use this for vlogging if i ever get into that. Comes with a lens hood, aperture adjustment can set click or smooth when setting via the ring, and you can select auto or manual focus as well, so it's a nice lens and looks quality overall.

I love it. I bought this used lens from Fujiyama Camera sold thru Amazon and it is so much better in reality overall than what was described. It is just like new for a lower price. ❤️

I have a sony fx30 and I wanted to push this lens to the max. This picture was taken in pitch black darkness with no moon in sight. I set everything to its max. The results were amazing as you can see. This is why I gave it five stars. The other features are extra benefits. This image has no post corrections. I admit that the color is off and the focus could've been better but it was almost 11pm. A street light located about 140 ft away is the only light nearby.

Expensive as heck but worth it for me. I've been doing YouTube tech reviews for almost a year now with the Sony ZV-E10 and the Sigma 16mm lens. While thats a killer combo, the large size of the Sigma slows you down at times. It also puts the Crane M3 gimbal at its limits. This 15mm is the same in quality as the Sigma with better autofocus, no focus breathing, and compact. For me it was the smaller size which pairs beautifully with my Crane M3. I took out this combo on a NYC road trip and it took amazing shots. If you want to watch footage check out the Video on YouTube called "2022 Honda Civic - NYC nightdrive" channel name Ultratec.

This is by far my best lens for my APS-C Sony ILC cameras. It is well made, very sharp even wide open at f/1.4, and is very good for astrophotography (night sky photos and video). The included aperture ring makes it much more usable for video. I highly recommend this lens.

Bought the lens used, the image quality is great glass was un damaged it’s no GM but still very sharp!
