Overview
The Sony E 15mm F1.4 G is a wide-angle prime lens designed for Sony's APS-C mirrorless cameras, including models like the ZV-E10 II and generally within the Alpha series. Featuring a large maximum aperture of F1.4, this lens excels in low-light situations and offers a shallow depth of field for artistic bokeh effects. The optical design incorporates advanced aspherical elements and extra-low dispersion glass to minimize chromatic aberrations and distortions, enhancing image clarity and color accuracy. This lens also leverages Sony's XD (extreme dynamic) Linear Motor technology for fast, precise, and quiet autofocus performance, suitable for both still photography and video recording. The lens construction includes a weather-sealed design for reliability in diverse shooting environments. Furthermore, it supports close focusing distances, providing flexibility for creative wide-angle compositions.
Its compact size and lightweight build complement mirrorless camera systems, making it portable and user-friendly. Compatible with Sony's native E-mount, it offers seamless integration with in-camera features such as image stabilization and focus peaking.

Key Advantages
The lens features a bright F1.4 aperture that enables superior low-light performance and shallow depth of field effects. Advanced optical elements optimize image sharpness and reduce aberrations for high-quality results. The fast and silent autofocus powered by XD Linear Motors supports both photography and videography applications without disturbance. Its weather-sealed construction enhances durability and reliability in challenging environments. Lightweight and compact design improves portability and ease of use with APS-C cameras. Compatibility within the Alpha series ensures smooth interoperability and access to various camera functionalities.
Limitations
The lens is specifically designed for APS-C sensor cameras and may not perform optimally on full-frame bodies due to vignetting or crop factor considerations. Its prime nature means fixed focal length, limiting versatility compared to zoom lenses. The wide aperture, while advantageous, may lead to more noticeable lens aberrations at maximum aperture settings if not stopped down. The price point might be higher relative to other kit lenses or third-party options. Although weather sealed, it is not fully dustproof or waterproof under extreme conditions. Its manual focus override and electronic aperture control require compatible camera bodies for full functionality.
