This is a superb pro-level upgrade from the "kit" lens that usually ships with Sony A6000 DSLRs. Highly-rated, if a little pricey.
Since the camera is 3/4 format, the15mm focal length is equivalent to a 24mm wide angle on a full-frame camera. Great for shooting events, landscapes and family gatherings.
The big f1.4 aperture allows a great deal of light and nice "bokeh" for shots where you prefer a blurred background. Sharpness is top-notch edge to edge.
I purchased it with the accessories kit mainly because it provided a Vivitar UV filter which I installed for its protective quality.

About this item
G Lens wide-angle 15mm APS-C prime offers dynamic perspectives, outstanding image quality, large F1.4 aperture as well as fast, precise, quiet AF ideal for still and video content creators.
The small size and low weight of the lens makes it a perfect match for compact APS-C as well as Super35 E-mount cameras. Also thanks to a refined internal focus mechanism, the lens’s length remains constant while focusing for ideal balance and handling. You can move in close to the subject, right down to the lens’s minimum focusing distance, and shoot movies or stills without being restricted by changing lens length.
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 in use can be utilized so that even fast or erratically moving subjects can be reliably captured.
An aperture ring provides intuitive control plus the fast response required for professional applications. It also includes a switch that turns the aperture click stops on or off – ON for tactile feedback when shooting stills or OFF for seamless, silent control when shooting movies.
State-of-the-art lens technology packed into this remarkable large-aperture wide-angle lens reduces unwanted focus breathing and angle of view shifts when focusing. It also supports the breathing compensation function in compatible alpha cameras, further reducing unwanted angle of view shifts during focusing for smooth, high-quality movie footage.

Hands down best APS-C vlogging lens. Period. Incredible!

My first vlogging lens was the Sony 11mm f1.8 and it was a solid lens overall, but I found it to be too wide and lacking in other features.
This 15mm G Master on the other hand? Hands down winner!
The focal distance is great, about as perfect as one can expect, for vlogging. Even with active steady shot enabled, you're able to manage a decent shot handheld or with a handheld tripod. Speaking of handheld, this is light and fairly easily portable.
Key features that put this lens above others, both competing brands and Sony lenses, are the f1.4 for that creamy bokeh, and the option of the manual aperture ring. Being able to quickly twist and adjust exposure while you're on the go is amazing. I think this feature is a must have for me going forward.
If you're on the fence with this one, just buy it. You're going to love it. Plus, it can be had used/open box at a highly competitive price.
