Sigma 19mm f/2.8 EX DN Review

 

For the modest financial outlay, the new Sigma 19mm f/2.8 EX DN lens is definitely worth considering, especially for Sony E-Mount users looking for an affordable wide-angle lens. It's less attractive for Micro Four Thirds owners, though, with smaller...

Sigma 19mm f/2.8 EX DN Review

 

There are a surprising number of alternatives in this category - wide primes for mirrorless cameras - so Sigma's offering comes at an interesting time. It holds its own in our tests, providing a sharp image even wide open at ƒ/2.8, with only slightly...

REVIEW—SIGMA 19mm f2.8 EX DN lens]

 

This lens is available in either a micro four thirds mount for Olympus and Panasonic cameras or an E mount for the Sony NEX range. On MTF cameras the film equivalent focal length is 38mm and on the Sonys, with the larger sensor, it is 28.5. There is no...

The low price of this lens makes it a standout bargain. The fast, quiet auto focus and the smooth manual focus are a joy to use. Construction quality is good, including a metal mount ; DISLIKE: We found the lens to be optically very good on an Olympus...

We found the lens to be optically very good on an Olympus or Panasonic but from what we have read elsewhere it may not be so well suited to the larger sensor of the Sony ; VERDICT: For anyone wanting a moderately wide angle lens for occasional use the...

For anyone wanting a moderately wide angle lens for occasional use the Sigma fits the bill. For more than twice the money you could buy the Olympus m.Zuiko 17mm f1.8 and you would get a better made, optically superior unit, but you might not take...

Sigma AF 19mm f/2.8 EX DN (Sony E mount) - Review / Test Report

 

The Sigma AF 19mm f/2.8 EX DN shares a couple of characteristics with its sister lens, the Sigma AF 30mm f/2.8 EX DN, but it doesn't reach the same level of performance. The center quality is absolutely great for sure but the outer image regions are...

Sigma 19 mm f/2.8 EX DN

 

In January 2012 the Sigma company presented two new lenses designed for mirrorless cameras - the Sigma 19 mm f/2.8 EX DN and the Sigma 30 mm f/2.8 EX DN. To tell you the truth that launch took me by surprise. In the case of the Micro 4/3 system a small...

compact and quite solid build ; very good image quality in the frame centre ; decent image quality on the edge of the Micro 4/3 sensor ; well-corrected chromatic aberration ; slight distortion ; moderate vignetting on the Micro 4/3 sensor ; silent,...

significant vignetting on the APS-C sensor ; noticeable coma ; spherical aberration not corrected properly ; work against bright light could have been better

REVIEW: Sigma 19mm f/2.8 EX DN m43

 

This moderate wide angle lens is currently available to fit both Micro Four Thirds and Sony NEX cameras and costs around £170. It sports a bright f/2.8 aperture and a newly developed linear focus motor.

Excellent sharpness from maximum aperture; Compact size; Lightweight; Decent build quality; Quick autofocus

Slightly high levels of barrel distortion for a prime lens

This compact lens should make an ideal addition to any Micro Four Thirds or Sony NEX camera kit. Its light weight, compact size and excellent optical performance are complimented by fast auto focus speeds and good build quality.

Sigma 19mm f/2.8 EX DN review by bob j

 

A nice discrete little standard lens for the NEX 7 - would be nice if they broadened out the range to something a bit wider as well.

Small, silent, moderately fast, sharp, nice hood

Slightly rattly when camera is turned off

Sigma 19mm f/2.8 EX DN review by iffo

 

The Sigma 19 mm EX DN is a lens that is comfortable in the hand, solidly finished and that focuses quickly and quietly. This lens has remarkably little trouble with ghosting, even if you do not use the supplied lens hood. For a micro-43 lens, the Sigma...

High resolution in the center Solidly built and beautifully finished Free pouch and lens hood low price

No built-in image stabilization Reasonable performance in terms of distortion and chromatic aberration Resolution in the corners is less than in the center
