Sony E 15mm F1.4G

Product Description

Spectacular rendering and bokeh in a wide F1.4 G Lens
With great G Lens rendering and expressive F1.4 bokeh, this 15-mm (35-mm full-frame equivalent: 22.5-mm) wide-angle prime lens for APS-C bodies delivers dynamic perspectives. Whether shooting stills or movies, superb operability and AF performance combine with compact, lightweight portability for multifaceted versatility.

Eye-opening G Lens resolution from full aperture
An innovative optical design that includes three aspherical elements effectively corrects field curvature and aberration, achieving outstanding resolution throughout the lens’s wide 15-mm field of view, even at full F1.4 aperture. One ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass element and one Super ED glass element further suppress chromatic aberration and effectively reduce peripheral colour fringing.

Breathtaking bokeh at F1.4
This lens’s large F1.4 aperture makes it possible to produce beautiful bokeh that is enhanced by precisely controlled spherical aberration and a 7-blade circular aperture. 0.17-metre minimum focus and 0.15x maximum magnification¹ let you get close to the subject while producing deep background bokeh. Impressive close-up capability is an advantage for movies as well as stills.

Compact and lightweight for new shooting freedom
The small size and low weight of this lens make it a perfect match for compact APS-C camera bodies. A design that maximizes the benefits of aspherical elements and the short mirrorless flange back distance delivers stunning performance in a lens that is only 2.62 x 2.74 in (66.6 x 69.5 mm) and weighs only 7.8 oz (219 g). A great choice for wide-angle landscapes, architecture, interiors and snapshots in general.

Advanced AF realizes full body speed potential
Two linear motors give this large-aperture lens impressively fast, precise auto focus and tracking performance for both stills and movies. AF and tracking are so responsive that the full speed potential of the body used can be fully realized, so even fast or erratically moving subjects can be reliably captured.

An expressive tool for movie shooters
With an internal focus mechanism that keeps overall lens length constant while focusing, this lens is easy to handle in a wider range of situations. A consistent centre of gravity also means that gimbal balancing is easier. The lens’s small size and low weight provide important handling advantages too. Advanced optical design minimizes focus breathing² and reduces unwanted angle-of-view shifts in movies.

Superb operability and reliability
The focus ring features Linear Response MF for direct manual focusing that responds like mechanical focus. There is also an aperture ring with click stop on/off switch for intuitive aperture control, a focus hold button and a focus mode switch for extra focus control versatility. And to ensure maximum reliability in challenging outdoor conditions, this rugged lens has a dust- and moisture-resistant design.3

Large-aperture 15-mm F1.4 G Lens
With stunning G Lens rendering and expressive F1.4 bokeh, this 15-mm wide-angle prime lens for APS-C bodies can deliver dynamic perspectives and expression. In a compact lens that weighs just 7.8 oz (219 grams) you get outstanding resolution right out to the image edges, with minimal focus breathing² when shooting movies.

Sony lens technology cancels aberration
An innovative optical design that includes three aspherical elements corrects field curvature and aberration for outstanding resolution throughout the lens’s wide 15-mm field of view. One ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass element and one Super ED glass element further suppress chromatic aberration and effectively reduce peripheral colour fringing.

Breathtaking close-up bokeh
This lens’s 0.17-m minimum manual focus (0.2 m when using AF) and 0.15x maximum magnification (0.12x when using AF) let you get close to the subject while producing beautiful bokeh. Shoot close-up subjects against deep background bokeh for truly memorable images. Impressive close-up capability is an advantage for movies as well as stills.

Compact and lightweight design
A design that maximizes the benefits of aspherical elements and the short mirrorless flange back distance delivers stunning optical performance in an APS-C format lens that is only 2.62 x 2.74 in (66.6 x 69.5 mm) and weighs only 7.8 oz (219 g). A great choice for wide-angle landscapes, architecture, interiors and snapshots in general.

Natural, linear manual focus response
For a professional manual focusing feel and response, Linear Response MF ensures that the focus ring responds directly and linearly to subtle manual control. Focus ring rotation translates directly to a corresponding change in focus, so control feels immediate and precise when shooting stills and movies.

Two linear motors for amazing AF
Two linear motors deliver fast, precise AF with superb tracking that maximizes camera-body performance to capture decisive moments in street snaps and similar subjects. Fast, precise, quiet AF with superb tracking is a huge advantage for movies as well as stills.

Stable movies with minimal breathing
State-of-the-art lens technology packed into this remarkable large-aperture ultra-wide lens reduces focus breathing² and angle-of-view shifts when focusing to facilitate high-quality movie recording and smooth, refined expression.

Customizable focus hold button
The focus hold button is customizable from the camera menu. Assign a function you use frequently such as Focus Magnifier, for example, then the right-hand fingers holding the camera can maintain a stable grip while the left thumb turns focus magnification on or off.

Switchable aperture ring click stops
An aperture ring provides intuitive control plus the fast response required for professional applications. It also includes a switch that turns the aperture click stops on or off: ON for tactile feedback when shooting stills, or OFF for seamless, silent control when shooting movies.

Easy manual/auto focus switching
The manual/auto focus mode switch enables instant switching between manual and auto focus modes, allowing instant response to changing shooting situations and focusing needs.

Dust- and moisture-resistant design³
A dust- and moisture-resistant design³ provides extra reliability for outdoor use in challenging conditions.

Smooth handling for movie shooting
Thanks to a refined internal focus mechanism, the lens’s length remains constant while focusing for ideal balance and handling. Consistent balance plus small size and low weight also make gimbal balancing easy.
