Versatile Wide-Angle Prime. The Sony E 15mm f/1.4 G’s versatile, 22.5mm equivalent focal length makes it great for handheld selfie-style vlogging; content creation; and street, landscape, and travel photography. The ultra-fast f/1.4 aperture is great for low-light shooting and subject-background isolation.

Advanced Optical Design. The 15mm’s twelve-group/thirteen-element design includes three aspherical elements, two Extra-Low Dispersion elements, and one Super Extra-Low Dispersion element, which combine to produce clear, high-contrast images while minimizing chromatic aberrations and distortion. The lens’s rounded seven-blade diaphragm gives images smooth out-of-focus areas when you desire a shallow depth of field.

Focusing Performance. A Linear Motor autofocus system uses two separate motors for fast, precise, and nearly silent focus and tracking performance, making it ideal for video and stills alike. You can use the AF/MF switch on the barrel to quickly switch between focus modes, while the internal focusing design keeps the lens length consistent while upping responsiveness. If you’re using manual focus, the minimum focusing distance is 6.7 inches with a 0.15x maximum magnification. If you’re using autofocus, minimum focusing distance is 7.9 inches with a 0.12x maximum magnification. No matter what, you’ll be able to get pretty close to your subject. Smooth Motion Optics suppress focus breathing to maintain accuracy, and this lens is compatible with select Alpha cameras’ Breathing Compensation functions.

Compact, High-Quality Build. The 15mm boasts a lightweight, compact build that’s weather-sealed so that you can use it in inclement conditions without worry.
