Sony 15mm f1.4 G - The Best Lens For Sony APS-C and ZV-E10 and FX30

Today I test the fantastic Sony 15mm f1.4 G, which is the best lens that I have used for the Sony APS-C system and the ZV-E10. While the Sigma 16mm is a great lens, the Sony 15mm has some features that will make this lens a hit.

I was gonna go for this one until I saw the price. For me personally as a beginner, simga 16mm F1.4 is half the price and big winner. I dont do walking vlog. anyway, great video Mark. I learnt a lot from your channel. keep up the good work!

I have that lense on my a6700 and I love it for its bright aperture, its sharpness and its form factor. If Sony ever decides to put out a similar APS-C G lense at this size at 24mm f1.4, I'll buy it instantly.

*JUST bought this used from B&H for $631 and I'm SOO glad I jumped on this as this will REPLACE my Sigma16mm and it has a GREAT feel and I love the small compactness of it.*

Just found your channel today. I am so impressed with how much helpful info you pack into each video, while making me laugh at the same time. So fun. Keep going! I hope we all get to see more and more videos!

Yes this lens is became # 1 for me for everyday and travel use.. You talking all right man . Second one is Sigma 56 mm. F 1, 4
And in bag tele 70 - 350 Sony. All three great works for me. In percentage, 15 mm, 85%; 56 mm, 12% and the rest tele (tele is very special for different targets).

I am not a Vlogger or into video. More stills for travel and family. But I have learned a lot from you Mark. there are a lot of take aways from your reviews. I want to renew my equipment. I am considering the a7cii or a6700. I am leaning towards the apsc. as I already have the 35mm f1.8, I would only add this prime to it. I like to travel light. 22.5mm seems to be a very useful focal length.

Thank you for this review. 16-50mm oss kit lens still covers my needs well in terms of wide angles...

[gordon]

Wow…you must have an assembly line built to be able turn out so many videos in such a short time! All nicely done! Of all the new Sony lenses I think this one the best, especially if lightweight is going to be important. Between this and the Sigma 16 nice that there are choices (plus the Viltrox albeit at 13).

[markwiemels]

Looks great! Sigma 16 vs Sony 15 vs Viltrox 13mm would be a great video.

[laminparis]

Very nice vidoe. Thank you for this video. I bought ZV-E10 2 days ago, so now I'm looking lens for it. Thanks again

Hello sir, Why does my Sony 15mm 1.4 lens make a rattle or clonk if I shake it, Is there a problem with my lens?

[beejoutbush]

Love your delivery style mate. Looks like the EV10 might be my first decent camera. I make camping videos over here in Australia and so far use a Mavic Air 2S and a gopro7 black with my iPhone also. What I miss is good night shots which obviously over here is a great part of camping.

[WeTheKims]

do you use step up ring and ND to avoid the lens capturing the dark outsides (not sure what its called)? is it not recommended to just use a 55mm ND with this lens?

[ruyeiro]

Waiting for that comparison (SIGMA 16 1.4 vs Sony 15 1.4)! You're right, the image quality is great, thanks for the review

[mossybank]

Nov 2024 question - is this still the best Sony apsc lens or is there another since this video came out?

[PeakTorque]

Great summary. I find the 1.4G 15mm a bit dark, and have to bump up the EV a few clicks even when wide open. I have no idea why, never had this problem with other primes. Have you experienced this with this lens?!

[bradl]

The 15mm looks ok on your ZV-E10 out vlogging... I guess it comes down to how far outstretched you had to hold it... was a bit hard to judge... was it more than arm's length?

[bubu-pxgb]

Excellent lens! Excellent review, love it.

[emilycromwelldesigns]

I just got this camera, and this exact lens is coming in a few days! For a YouTuber, do you recommend recording at 1080 HD or in 4K? Thank you!!

Hey mark, what mic are you using here in your walking parts?
