  • Quite the nice lens
Color: Black Style: Sony NEX E Mount
This lens is available for both 4/3 and Sony Nex mount cameras. It is an updated version of the very well regarded original Sigma 19mm. These new versions are called "Art" lenses and there is even a little chrome Art emblem on the barrel to signify this. The other visual clue is that the focusing ring is now smooth rather than serrated. I think it looks sort of clean and modern. In practice manual focusing takes only a tiny bit of a turn, and there is little resistance, so even if your hands are covered in Mobile 1, it does not present a problem to use. And, speaking of the ring, one of the complaints about the original version was that the ring felt flimsy and if you gripped it at all it would distort and bind, a cheap feeling for sure. The hidden part of the update is a more robust use of materials and construction. The ring will flex if you give it a grunt, it does not have that Leica hydraulic smoothness to it, but it is fine and not cheap feeling at all. Sigma has decided to emphasize quality design and construction, to move up and away from its sort of low-end reputation. Amazingly, It is actually Made in Japan by a family owned company. Sigma tests each and every one of these Art lenses, not just one out of a batch. This verifies that each copy will not be one of the "bad" ones that people often seem to think they have, no matter which brand. Their website is interesting and discusses this change of focus (!) It is a company worth watching now. The lens hood reverses for storage, but that feature doesn't save much space. What Sigma has not evidently done is to actually change the optical design of the lens. People debate this, but Sigma has evidently not yet made any claims about improved optical performance. Perhaps the assembly controls are tighter, the lens elements perhaps being held to tighter tolerances, maybe an improved coating...that sort of thing. So, in the end the best lens of either design may be equal, but all the the new Art lenses are superior to some of of the earlier ones. Some people will have a better lens than what they had before, but some will not. It just decreased the chances of getting a bad example. And the new one should last longer and have a higher quality feel to it. Worth the non-discounted price of the Arts to me. It focuses automatically and works on a Nex just as a Sony lens would, but it does not have optical stabilization, less necessary on short lenses than on long ones anyway. There is a floating lens assembly that will rattle if you shake the lens. This is a matter of design, not a fault. The 19mm, along with the similar design 30mm, has received many great reviews for the optical performance. My lens tests are pretty much backyard comparisons, but clearly this lens is sharp and it carries its acuity quite a ways out from the center, where all lenses are pretty good these days. The corners are not as good, but so vastly better than the often derided Sony 16mm. It is just a far better lens. There has been a lot of discussion about using wide angle lenses on the Nex-7, the flagship Nex with 24mps. The high mp count, among other things, makes it more difficult to use wide angle on this model than on the more entry level Nex's. There are color aberrations in the corners and also various distortions and vignetting when using wide angles on the 7, even when Leica and other high end wides are adapted. What Sony has done, and this is the trend, is to build in corrections within the camera that take into account the problems a lens might have at the extremes and take care of them in-camera. The cameral can then be thought of as simply an element of a lens, not separable if the best performance is to be expected. This requires shooting in the JPEG format and when you do the results are generally pretty good. You still get some of that purple fringing out in the corners on dark silhouetted subjects, like tree branches for example, that can be seen when you enlarge the images way on up, but it is not noticeable in most cases and is clearly an improvement, makes the lens very useful even for us Nex-7 devotees. If you shoot in RAW, the aberrations will be far more apparent and you will have to use imaging correction programs to remove it in post production. Now, this is not so awful as you are probably going to adjust other aspects of the photo any way and many people already have such software and use it daily. Note that other lenses like Sony's 10-18 mm zoom, a very complex design, also depends on in-camera corrections and is by most accounts a very good lens when used in JPEG. It is easier for a tech giant like Sony to put ever increasing computer capabilities in their cameras in order to allow for good results from relatively affordable lenses. Certainly cheaper, although not as exciting, than making perfect $6000 lenses to fit on more basic cameras. I have taken a lot of photos with my new Art 19 and really do like it. I have found that the subject, time of day and lighting and distance and on and on makes it completely impossible for really give a definitive answer to every aspect of this len's capabilities. It is clearly far better in every way, except that last little bit of wideness, than the Sony 16 and I do not think using even exotic and vastly more expensive lenses will result in a noticeably superior image (although I would use them if I had them!). On a Nex this is a 28mm lens, not terribly wide but very useful for those of use who do not get into the extreme wide angles. While I think the Sony 10-18 is the better choice, many people prefer primes and this one performs very well, is light, not big and is very affordable. I gave it all the stars because the overall value and utility has not been matched. ... show more

  • Great wide angle lens to add to your kit
Color: Black Style: Sony NEX E Mount
Fantastic wide angle prime lens for the money. There are other wide angles for around the same price (some from Sony) but overall this lens from Sigma has much better IQ, both center and in the corners. There is still some vignetting and distortion, but can be corrected for in post (Lightroom). small, lightweight and compact, this is an ideal lens to have in your kit for those moments where you need a little more field of view. Be aware of the filter size though - different than my SEL35F18, which means i need to buy more filters. Overall, fantastic image quality and worth even more than the price paid! ... show more

  • Excellent for photography but a no-go for videography Excellent for photography but a no-go for videography
Color: Black Style: Sony NEX E Mount
I've tried several APS-C Sigma lenses as well as OEM Sony lenses. This little lens is probably the greatest sleeper on the market. Meaning, it doesn't look like much. It doesn't feel like much. It's not even priced like much. But the photos it takes are quite amazing. I did a comparison shoot with this and four other lenses. I had to triple-check my work and lineup because what I was seeing wasn't making any sense. On an APS-C Sony, this lens was out-shooting lenses costing three times as much. Sharp as a tack, across nearly the entire picture area (little softness on the edges), and while avoiding the bowing or barrel distortion that's typical with wide-angle lenses. I only have two complaints about this lens. One may seem trivial: The smooth outer barrel is weird. We photographers are used to ribbing or at least texture on our focus rings. This lens curiously has a smooth outer barrel. It doesn't effect function (unless maybe you're in the mist or rain or your fingers are otherwise slippery). My second complaint has to do with video. For reasons I do not understand, there is a very distinct, rhythmic, and constant pulsing and breathing when shooting video using auto-focus. It is very clear to see at the edges of the frame, and very noticeable (it's not subtle at all). It is a very strange movement because it's constant and at the same rate (not like the lens is hunting and then finds it's way, it's a continuous pulsing or throbbing and never stops). Unless you are committed to always using manual focus when shooting video, this lens is a no-go. I'll be returning this lens because I shoot about 50/50 video and still images. I thought a lot about keeping this lens just because the images are so damn sharp. It's a perfect "around town" lens. But I don't want to have to switch lenses every time I see something cool I want to capture on video. ... show more

  • Terrific lens for the price
Color: Black Style: Sony NEX E Mount
After seeing the image quality from the kit 16-55mm power zoom kit lens that came with my Sony A6000 I wanted something that had much sharper resolution corner to corner. This lens does the trick, with images that are crisp and detailed with nice color saturation. The Sony APS-C crop factor makes this a 29mm focal length which is really nice as an all around focal length. The lens doesn't have image stabilization but with the faster aperture I haven't really missed it. The lens feels well made and comes with a lens hood and even a nice case, neither of which I would expect for the price. I am not crazy about the focus ring as it can feel a bit slippery at times. Most of the time I am using AF anyway so I don't consider this a big negative. One surprise is that the lens does have a clunk when you move it around but it does go away when you mount it on the camera and turn the camera on and seems to just be the way the lens is designed. Anything close to this image quality from Sony or Zeiss would cost me 5 or 6 times as much so I am thrilled with Sigma releasing this lens. ... show more

  • Nice hood and case

Unbelievable value for money. Metal construction with a metal mount. Nice hood and case. Optically excellent - sharp and good color rendition across the frame. No problems with the smooth metal focusing ring - very smooth and nice action. Can't really say enough nice things about this lens. Highly recommended. I use it on an a6000. ... show more

  • Outstanding walking around lens for the e-mount platform
Color: Silver Style: Sony NEX E Mount
I have been using this lens as my walking-around lens on my NEX-7 for the past five weeks. It is a sweet little lens, feels a little more solid than my Sigma 30mm f2.8 EX DN (Sony E) but optical quality is similar. I don't care about lab results, all I can tell is that I am very pleased by the results I get out of it. The silver finish actually looks pretty cool on the NEX-7 because it matches the finish of the outside of the e-mount. It also has a proper raised dot as a mount index instead of just a marked line, so you can easily put the lens on without looking at the camera, all you do is make sure the raised dot is at 12 o'clock. The rattle when the lens is powered off is slightly lower than in the 30mm. Even with the hood (included) on, the lens basically feels nothing, which makes it awesome as a walking around lens. The only thing that messes with my head is that this lens is actually larger than my 30mm. This is the only lens pair that I have where the shorter focal length lens is the one with the longer barrel, I am guessing this is because both are the same diameter. Optical corrections are simple, the jpeg off the camera with auto corrections enabled look really close to what DxO Optics yields for this particular lens when processing from RAW. Overall I am really pleased, I would not hesitate to recommend this lens to anyone shooting e-mount and looking for an inexpensive wide lens (the 35mm equivalency is 28.5 mm). ... show more

  • Would've been the perfect lens for my needs but...
Color: Black Style: Sony NEX E Mount
The stills quality of this lens is impeccable! Very sharp and works exceptionally well on my older Sony A6000 body. But only for still shots. If I try to use it for video, there is a constant and rhythmic pulsing when using continuous auto-focus. It is very VERY noticeable (it's not subtle at all). Another reviewer described it perfectly when they said "It is a very strange movement because it's constant and at the same rate (not like the lens is hunting and then finds it's way, it's a continuous pulsing or throbbing and never stops). Unless you are committed to always using manual focus when shooting video, this lens is a no-go." This appears to be a common problem for this lens. I wanted to love it but I can't. Sadly, I'll be returning this lens because that constant pulsing is a deal breaker for me. Beautiful for stills, useless on video (unless you're using manual focus only). ... show more

  • Great lens but not better than the Sony 20mm
Color: Black Style: Sony NEX E Mount
I used this lens all weekend in different settings to (daytime, night time, parks, etc.) to get an idea of what this lens is all about. I'm not a pro but I do have an arsenal of lenses. I'm also more of a candid or street photographer. Having said that like most people (and this is debatable) I like to focus on the sharpness of the lens. Specifically, in comparison to the Sony 20mm (which is a little pricier) I would say that this is inferior. Although this has a 2.8 aperture (as does the sony, this lens is not as sharp as the Sony at 2.8. Some of my best images from this weekend came at at aperture of 5 and above. I know this is the case with some lenses, and it may also be due to user error because I'm new to mirrorless cameras. However I'm sharing with you my first impressions and may rate it higher as I use this lens more. For the price it is a good lens. I would recommend this lens and I would buy again in the future if something were to happen to this lens. However, this is not the sharpest knife in the drawer. I shot with the Sony 20mm under similar conditions and that one blew me away. If you're choosing between this and the Sony, then I'd highly prefer the Sony over this one. **UPDATE 9/29/14 While my original review stays the same with regards to quality, I must say however that I do find myself using it more than the Sony 20mm. It's a relatively fast lens and at the price point I think I'm less afraid of paying for a replacement if damaged. ... show more
