Sigma 19mm f/2.8 DN SE Fit Lens - SilverI purchased this lens to fit my Sony a6000 camera.Having read some great reviews on this lens, I was not surprised that it performed well. I was surprised to find it performed much better than I expected though. The contrast and sharpness of this lens is at better than I thought it would be for the price.My camera has an APS-C sensor rated as a 1.6 crop which makes this roughly 30mm equivalent on a 35mm film camera. This is a great focal length for everyday sightseeing pictures as well as having great creative potential.The max aperture of f2.8 means that, compared to normal kit lenses,you have a couple of stops more light and significant control over depth of field.Wide open it is very acceptably sharp hitting its peak performance around f5.6~F8. This so called 'sweet spot' fits in nicely with most general photography settings.I purchased the silver version just as a matter of choice and it looks great on my black Sony a6000. The finish is a matt silver with a polished silver focusing ring should you use it on manual focus. I have read in some reviews that this polished focusing ring slips in your hand, nonsense, it has a good grip and does not slip at all.The supplied good quality black lens hood is made of a fairly hard and strong plastic and bayonet clicks onto the front of the lens very firmly. This lens hood is so designed that it can be clipped on backwards for storage and is a welcome item.Speaking of storage, the lens comes with a very well made zip topped semi rigid pouch, much better protection than a soft drawstring pouch. It also comes with a pinch clip front lens cap and a rear lens cap.In appearance, the lens is very plain. There is a focusing ring and nothing else. No aperture ring, this is controlled by whatever means your camera uses and no focus scale. Again, this is, in my case, displayed in the viewfinder. I personally have no great issues with this but I know that a lot of photographers, especially with medium to wide angle lenses, like to pre set the focus point when using manual focus. It can be done but not as intuitively or as quickly as lenses that have a focus scale.On the Sony a6000, the auto focus is fast and accurate in my experience and I have not had any issues with auto focus at all.You may read in some reviews that the lens has a strange rattle. This is normal and is not a fault. It is simply the way that, I assume, the focus drive connects and when it is mounted on the camera and switched on, there is no rattle. Again, this is how the lens works and is not a fault at all.In conclusion, the lens is a beauty in operation and looks. Picture quality is very good and handling is very easy. I would not hesitate to recommend this lens, great value for money.Please note that I have written a virtually identical review for the Sigma art 30mm F2.8. It is identical because other than technical specifications and focal length, it operates and performs beautifully as this 19mm one does. I would definitely recommend getting both.

I bought this lens before a recent trip to NYC and i have to say, the image quality for the price is remarkable. Don't get me wrong, you can pay more on a lens for nex and get better results but when you compare the images side by side, its difficult to justify the large increase in cost.The fact that you get a case and a hood for this too, is the cherry on top as you do not have to go out and spend more money to complete the kit. Overall, this was my lens of choice while away for 80% of the photos i took, instead of using the kit lens but gave me some flexibility in not having to switch to my 50mm 1.8 unless i really had to.On previous trips i found myself having to use the 50mm much more due to lighting conditions or faster moving objects that the kit lens just couldn't handle.If you are looking for an upgrade to the standard NEX kit lens, I would thoroughly recommend one of the sigma lenses whether it be this, the 30mm or the 60mm and you wont be breaking the bank to do it either.

Well made and fits snuggly to my OM-D. Focuses quickly with minimum noise. Plenty of contrast and sharp enough for screen and A3 print.Very pleased with it as a general everyday lens. In between wide angle 14mm and 25mm so wide enough without distortion of perspective or bringing the subject too close.Good to get a lens hood included. Advisable to use a uv filter as the curved front element feels a bit vulnerable to scratching.

Sigma 19mm f/2.8 DN SE Fit Lens - SilverI really do like this lens. I use it mainly for night shots With my Sony A6000. The star burst and bokeh you get from it is great.For the money you really need one in your camera bag.Very sharp lens.Fast focusing.No image stabilization.Great results.

Fantastic. Absolutely fantastic lens. I use it on panasonic GX80 and Olympus OM D Em10ii and the images are superb. Good clour and very very sharp. I traded a Panasonic 25mm f1.7 for this and the Sigma is miles better in my opinion. Not too keen on the smooth focus barrrel tho.

I chose this lens over the Olympus prime due to its reasonable price. I havnt been disappointed at all.Its quick focusing and produces very sharp images.Makes a good walk about lens at 38mm 35 equiv.Well built and smooth to use.The silver build looks great on my E-PL7

Essential lens for my Sony Alpha cameras. I'm not even sure if Sony make a similar lens, but the reviews online of the Sigma 19mm f/2.8 DN are so good it was a no brainer to buy it. Great value lens.

Very good lens, light,and fast focus. I leave this lens on the camera olympus epl5 for street photos.It works out to a 38mm lens.I dont use the kit zoom any more 14mm-45mm .

It's great, you get what you pay for. I can not fault the lense for what it is. Obviously if you pay more money you get better glass. I would definitely recommend it.

These Sigma prime lenses for Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras are secret gems. I get outstanding results with my a6000 in a very small and light weight package.

15.3.2018

Bearing in mind the price, this is an excellent performer on my APS-C camera. Well built and comes complete with lens hood and padded nylon zipped case.

A brilliant sharp lens. I put this on my Lumix G5 for street photography and i haven't taken it off since! For the price this lens is unbeatable.

Great bright lens. Colours are slightly different to the stock lenses but they're still nice.Not an awful lot sharper than the 15-55mm kit lens.
