Sony E 15 mm F1.4 G | APS-C-groothoeklens met vaste brandpuntsafstand (SEL15F14G)

Acheter pour faire de l’astro photo, plus particulièrement de la Voie lactée, je suis plus que satisfait de la qualité de l’objectif. Piqué au top, léger et maniable.

Me sorprendido bastante su calidad, muy nítido, el peso es excelente para gimbal, muy luminoso a 1.4, me encanta. Lo uso con Sony FX30 y Sony A7III (hace automáticamente la adaptación a este objetivo)

The Sony E 15mm f1.4 G for APS-C cameras is not a perfect lens but it is a very good to excellent lens in terms of angle of view (87°; 22.5mm 35mm equivalent) low weight (219gm), sharpness, a wide maximum aperture (f1.4), weather and dust sealing, a programmable button on the lens, and aperture control ring on the lens itself.The principal downsides are barrel distortion, which is quite noticeable, and substantial vignetting at the widest apertures. If you only shoot jpeg, you’ll never notice it because the lens and camera correct for both distortion and vignetting internally when saving jpeg files, but if you shoot using RAW files, it becomes apparent when you uncheck the lens correction box in the Adobe Lightroom develop module. You can see this in the first two images attached, the first one exported with the lens correction applied, the second with the lens correction box unchecked. There is a tradeoff between sharpness and controlling vignetting and distortion and Sony has obviously opted for the former, as this is a very sharp lens by my experience. However, the distortion and vignetting, for example is not nearly as severe as in the Sony E 11mm f1.8 lens; which I also own and, in my opinion, is an inferior lens to the 15mm; but is not nearly as well controlled as in my Zeiss Loxia 21mm lens, where it is close to negligible.If you want both a lightweight and bright aps-c specific ultra-wideangle prime in the f1.8 to f1.4 range lens, there’s not much competition. You could get a Voigtlander E 15mm f4.5 full frame lens, but it’s strictly manual and lacks weather sealing. There are some Laowa’s on the market in the 14-15mm range, but again, they lack weather sealing and are strictly manual. You could get a Sony FE 14mm f1.8 GM, but it’s full frame, twice as expensive, bulky (460gm), and has a bulging front element that will not accept screw-in lens filters.I’m not going to get into pixel peepery or bokeh ballery here. There are a number of online photo blogs that do that, like ephotozine and opticallimits. As a final note, the lens produces decent 14 point sunstars between f11 and f16 (image 3) with its rounded 7 blade aperture, but flaring does not appear to be well controlled like many other ultra-wideangle lenses.

La lente non vale il prezzo a cui viene venduto. Nonostante sia apprezzabile nel complesso, presenta diverse imperfezioni. Il mio esemplare che ho reso presentava bassa resistenza al flare e una forte aberrazione cromatica. Sarebbe da comprare forse ad un prezzo inferiore a 500 euro.
