15mm f/1.4 review at Lenstip:

I am very happy I was given an opportunity to test this lens. First of all, a round of applause for the Sony company – they proved they treat the APS-C system seriously. If a company wants their customers to treat it seriously as well, they have to offer such instruments as the Sony E 15 mm f/1.4G.
In this lens you get everything you should expect from such an instrument– a shapely, lightweight device with a very good aperture fastness that is sharp across the frame up from the maximum relative aperture. There are some flaws but only in categories we expected them to be – distortion and vignetting. Also the lens could have performed better when it comes to longitudinal chromatic aberration; still it can’t change our very positive assessment of the new Sony product.
The price tag might be a small spoon of tar in a barrel of honey. When writing these words the European price reaches 850 Euro – almost two times higher than the price of the rival Sigma.

11mm f/1.8 review at Lenstip:

Not so long ago, in the summary of its test, I was gushing over the performance of the Sony E 20 mm f/1.8G. I never expected that I would have to write a similar puff piece for another ultra-wide angle Sony lens.
A puff piece? I use this term deliberately. What can be done – the Sony E 11 mm f/1.8 certainly deserves that and more. You deal here with a fast ultra-wide angle lens which is small, shapely, and lightweight, sensationally sharp in the frame centre and satisfactorily sharp on frame edges even at the maximum relative aperture.

If it wasn’t enough, its suggested price durig the launch is 600 Euro – not high, taking all the possibilities of the tested instrument into account. I don’t doubt that the Sony E 11 mm f/1.8 will find many happy users very soon.
