  • Quite the nice lens
*: 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

  • FANTASTIC Lens for the Micro 4/3 Format
*: Black Style: Micro Four Thirds
Well, I feel kind of silly writing a review for an item that already has over 200 reviews, and almost a straight five-star rating, but I have to say that this is one of the most impressive lenses I've used on the micro 4/3 format cameras. This lens is actually made in Japan (!), and is part of the Sigma "Art" series. There is a reason most people rave about it. The lens is extremely sharp, has very accurate color, and controls very well for pincushioning and barrel distortion. It's extremely well built, but in spite of that, it is light, which somewhat seems like a contradiction in terms. But it's true: both quality manufacturing and light weight are hallmarks of this lens. I purchased this lens because I was using the very nice Olympus 14-42mm EZ lens for museum photography. I got lots of great shots with that lens, also due to its characteristics, build, and its light weight. The Olympus 14-42 EZ, too, is a surprisingly sharp lens. But that Olympus lens does not control for barrel distortion very well, and when you are photographing a painting in a museum, you'll get some serious distortion at certain zoom lengths (it's also the kind of distortion that takes a lot of time and effort in post-processing to remove). This Sigma Art lens, however, has almost no distortion to speak of. And although this Sigma Art 19mm is physically longer than the Olympus 14-42 EZ lens (which is essentially a pancake lens, in spite of its nice 3x zoom factor), the Sigma 19mm weighs almost the same amount. And not having to spend nearly as much time in post-processing when shooting, say, in museums, really is what I was looking for. At $200, this lens is a steal. Right now (August 2018) it's on sale for $169, which is an absolutely terrific price. And I still marvel that it is made in Japan. You can certainly feel it, and the images it produces echo that. (The manual focus ring, for example, is as smooth as lenses that are much, much more expensive, and certainly smoother than most Olympus lenses I've used.) Colors are very accurate, with little "bias" in the color palette, too. Oh, and I can't refrain from saying this: IT COMES WITH A NICE CASE! I've purchased lenses that cost over $1,000 and are supplied with no case whatsoever. This is a real winner, and I, like the 200+ people before me, can HIGHLY recommend it. Five Stars. PLUSES ++ Extremely sharp, accurate picture renditions ++ Pretty wide aperture (F/2.8) ++ Barrel/pincushion distortion very well controlled ++ Generally fast focusing ++ Silent operation ++ Excellent, neutral color output (so, when you shoot with a standard color setting it actually WILL be standard; if you shoot in a vivid color setting it will BE vivid without bizarre colors showing up) ++ Made in Japan with extremely high manufacturing quality ++ Lightweight ++ Case supplied (Incredible! I've seen no shortage of $1,000+ lenses that come with no case whatsoever!) ++ Inexpensive ++ Good lens cap that stays in place, and is easy to get on and off (don't underestimate this) MINUSES -- A small bit of rattle may be heard if you shake the lens. This is something that many people over the years report with Sigma Art lenses. There is argumentation as to the cause, but most people report no functional problems with their lens, and I haven't run into any, either, so I would not be concerned. Most people have settled on the theory that the rattle is present only when optical image stabilization is not being used. I have no idea if that is true, or not, but I have not run into problems, and it must be part of the specification of the lens' internal functions. -- I'm trying to think of some others, but can't really find more. I'm sorry, I'm not trying to be biased, but when you look at what you get for the price, along with the lens' characteristics, I'm kind of at a loss to list a real minus. If I run into one over time, I'll return to this review and update it. ... show more
