Sony 15mm f/1.4 G & FX30 - 1st Impressions

[@loganwebb5449]

Would love to see the Sony 11mm.

As you mentioned in video, for APSC camera. Not only the focal length is cropped but the Aperture also x1.5 (F1.4 x 1.5 = F2.1) am I rite?

[@PhillipRPeck]

For depth of field, yes. It will be equivalent to a full frame 22.5mm f/2.1. But the light gathering isn't affected by crop factor, so it still lets in the amount of light of a f/1.4 lens regardless

[@Justin_Artis]

This is what I needed. Been looking to purchase the fx30 and an wide angle lens

[@ReTrospectiveVids]

I immediately paused and liked this video when I saw the Garbagr Pail Kids card...I'm an 80's kid, what can I say 😂

[@mac24x7]

Dont forget the active stab works better with native sony lenses. Everyone forgets or does not know

[@PhillipRPeck]

I pretty much never use active stabilization but it would be a good thing to compare for a review's sake

[@MiguelClimbs]

Yeah, I'd be down for a comparison vid to both the Sigma 16 and the 24GM. I love using my 15 for everyday shooting. It's a great compact setup on the FX30!

[@PhillipRPeck]

Cool. Thank you for the feedback

[@focuspulling]

I'm afraid it's true, Sigma 16mm FTW! But it would admittedly be nice -- on rare occasions -- to have more controls, and I also hate the unremovable petal hood on the Sigma. But it pairs nicely with their 30mm & 56mm lenses.

Would also love to see a comparison between the 24GM !! Didn't even know this lens existed and have been eyeing the 24GM for a couple months now, might have to save some money and go apsc

[@idrinktapwater6174]

that's crazy, so wide it can fit your monitor into the shot!!!!

[@ArcMediaFilms]

Would you say that f1.4 would work well for filming concerts? I am worried about it missing focus with the depth of field being so shallow. Thanks Glenn

[@PhillipRPeck]

At this focal length and the distance I'd imagine you're working from your subjects, I think the depth of field will be pretty manageable. Keep in mind that depth of field increases as you move further away from your subject

[@ArcMediaFilms]

@@PhillipRPeck thanks Phillip. 👍

[@danielliberman824]

Is the 15mm full frame ?

[@PhillipRPeck]

No. It is for aps-c

[@rellyl.4087]

@@PhillipRPeck Thanks a lot
