Objectif Sony E 15mm f/1.4 G

The autofocus is so fast and quiet that I barely notice it working, which makes street shooting a joy. Tack-sharp from corner to corner even wide open, and the bokeh has a smooth, natural quality that elevates everyday scenes.

Grab it for travel if you shoot APS-C; the autofocus locks on so quietly that I forgot it was even hunting during a street shoot. Corners stay tack sharp wide open, which is rare at this focal length, and the bokeh from f/1.4 has a creamy smoothness that makes the tiny size feel like a cheat code.

The autofocus is so quiet and snappy that it barely makes a sound during video, and the corner-to-corner sharpness is genuinely impressive for such a compact lens. I've been using it for landscape shots and the bokeh at f/1.4 adds a nice touch of depth you wouldn't expect from a wide-angle.
