This is the best review!!! Thank you 🫶

Impressively small considering the maximum aperture and focal length! I'm a fan of the Sigma 16mm but it definitely is hefty on most APS-C bodies.

Great review as always! If it was around 600$ it was a no brainer like the 11mm f1.8. Still prefer it over the Sigma which is really hefty on a tiny apsc body. BTW that's a very nostalgic shirt at 8:10!

Hello and Nice review. Just got renewed Sony 15mm 1.4F form Amazon (saved $ 175), looks brand new, very clean... But comparable to yours ( 7 15) Sony lens , yours appeared looks like sharper (in 400%)...I did some trees and ocean views shots... Thank you for doing this for us.

Excellent review very helpful thank you.

Thanks Gordon 🙂

Oh my goodness. I want ALL the toys!!! 🤣 Thanks for this very useful review. I own the Sigma 16mm and recently acquired the Tamron 11-20mm f2.8. The budget's stretched already so all I really NEED? Is to get out and shoot with my a6600, using the fine lenses I own now. Maybe I will keep an eye out for a deal on the new 15mm Sony sometime down the line - when I know better what I'm likely to want to use, in what circumstances.

That's how every comparison video must look like. Great job.

I didn't realize it was sharper than the Sigma. Every review i have seen the bokeh is much better on the Sigma, but I'm a fan of small, lightweight and sharp lenses. I'll probably pick up the 15mm.

THE QUALITY 😍😍😍🤯🤯🤯🥶🥶🥵🥵

great video!

Thanks for your so valuable long term work. In your opinion, once stopped down, is this lens sharper of softer in the corners than the 11-20 ? I would enjoy the extra speed but not at the cost of sharpness for landscape/cityscape. Your flickr sample page doesn't include the "diagonal pier" 15mm shot so it is difficult to compare by myself. All the best,

Thanks for the review, great additions, sony understands that aps-c has to be small, let’s see if new more compelling camera bodies come out , although I am also impressed by the new canon’s and fuji….

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

I hope that Sony will make some GM "CQ" Lenses which are of highest possible image quality without flaws that have to be corrected in software, fx a 15mm 1.8 or 2.0 for APSC that are both compact and with very high image quality and a 24mm 1.8 or 2.0 for full frame. I also hope for professional Cameras in APSC with high resolution EVF´s.

Great review

Seeing Sony make 3 lenses for APS-C, I am hoping they will release 10bit APS-C camera fingercrossed. If not I think I will just save up for a full frame.

Good review, honest content. Just sent you a coffee.

Hi what’s the difference between sony E 16-55mm F2.8 G and the sony E15mm F1.4 ?

Good to see Sony investing in APSC. I hope they flesh out the rest of the range with updated glass and bodies.

that battery status hurts my soul

The Sony one is the best
