This will be the last image from this lens for the present. The image in this post is a square crop from the image yesterday. Like I've stated in the past, I wish I could select the quare format with these cameras. It makes it easier to compose the photograph in the first place. Here's to hoping that Sony brings that in in the next firmware update, but I'm not holding my breath.

07/11/12  Sigma 19 f2.8 for Nex VI1731
NEX-5N Focal Length: 19 mm Aperture: f/5.6 Exposure Time: 1/640 sec ISO: 100 07/10/12  Sigma 19 f2.8 for Nex VI think I'm going to enjoy using this lens on my landscaping trips. Just seems to produce the type of image that I like. 13077
NEX-5N Focal Length: 19 mm Aperture: f/5.6 Exposure Time: 1/1000 sec ISO: 100 07/09/12  Sigma 19 f2.8 for Nex IVI like the colours, I like the contrast and I like the sharpness. I can't fault this lens at all.
Remember, all these images were taken on the Nex-5N which is a fine camera. It might be different on the Nex-7 with it's 24MP sensor but I doubt it. I think I'll try it out one day but I tend to keep the 18-55 kit lens on that. I am also waiting on the 55-210 for that camera. I was disappointed by the colour shift you get with the Nex-7 with RF lenses but it's something we have to live with. The Nex-5N does a fine job though and I can't complain there either. 20439
NEX-5N Focal Length: 19 mm Aperture: f/5.6 Exposure Time: 1/640 sec ISO: 100 07/08/12  Sigma 19 f2.8 for Nex IIII think the Sigma lenses on the Canon mount are so bad (apart from one or two lenses) because they are reversed engineered. That is why you should always test the lenses for decentering and general sharpness at all focal lengths and apertures. Sample variance is widespread and in the end I gave up on them. From what I have seen the Sigmas do a lot better on the Nikon mount and the success rate was higher for those buyers.
Saying that I don't think it gets much better than this 19 f2.8 on the Sony E mount. Sharpness is great and the focal length suits me fine for my wide angle work. I don't think I really need anything much wider than this normally. 13269
NEX-5N Focal Length: 19 mm Aperture: f/5.6 Exposure Time: 1/640 sec ISO: 100 07/07/12  Sigma 19 f2.8 for Nex IIThe lens is not exactly a pancake but it's not all that big either. I always thought that the Sigma lenses worked better on the Nikon mount and now I know they work pretty well on the Nex mount too. Hmmm...I wonder what they`re like on the m4/3 mount. But then again I've got the Oly 17 f2.8 and the Panasonic 20 f1.7 and the PL 25 f1.4. So I don't think I need them for that mount but Sony is lacking in this area and I'm glad Sigma decided to bring this one out. 14632
