Sony E 15mm f1.4 G - 1228315

Spectacular rendering and bokeh in a wide F1.4 G Lens

With stunning G Lens rendering and expressive F1.4 bokeh this 15 mm (35mm full-frame equivalent: 22.5 mm), wide-angle prime lens for APS-C cameras can deliver dynamic perspectives. Whether you’re 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 color fringing.

High resolution throughout an ultra-wide 15mm field of view

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 meter 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 cameras. 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 2-5/8 x 2- 3/4" (66.6 x 69.5mm) 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 camera speed potential

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

An expressive tool for movie shooters

With an internal focus mechanism that keeps the overall lens length constant while focusing, this lens is easy to handle in a wider range of situations. A consistent center 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 a 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.

Maintenance Tips

• Clean Lens Surfaces Carefully: Use a microfiber cloth or lens cleaning tissue to gently clean the front and rear elements. Avoid rough fabrics or excessive pressure to prevent scratches.

• Use a Lens Hood: Always attach the lens hood to reduce flare and protect the front element from accidental knocks.

• Store Safely: Keep the lens in a padded camera bag or hard case when not in use, away from extreme heat, humidity, and dust.

• Protect from Moisture and Dust: Avoid rain or damp conditions; silica gel packs in storage can help prevent fungal growth.

• Avoid Touching Glass: Oils from fingers can degrade coatings over time. Handle the lens by its barrel or mount.

• Check Mount & Contacts: Periodically inspect and gently clean the mount contacts with a dry, lint-free cloth to maintain autofocus and communication with the camera.

• Transport Carefully: Use a lens pouch or padded compartment in a bag to prevent impacts or drops.

• Professional Servicing: For autofocus issues, zoom stiffness, or internal dust/fungus, have the lens serviced by an authorized Sony service center.
