Sigma 19mm f/2.8 EX DN
This camera glass has a good build quality and is made of high-quality glass elements that provide high resolution images. The lens coating reduces flare and ghosting, which can affect the quality of the photos taken. The autofocus is fast and reliable, but it also has a manual focus option for more control. This photographic lens is a good alternative to other brands’ lenses and is a good choice for landscape, street, and architectural photography. The manufacturing time is not specified, but it is likely to be a relatively fast process. Overall, the Sigma 19mm f/2.8 EX DN is a good option for those looking for a reliable and high-quality wide-angle lens for their camera.
Positives:
– Affordable price point for a wide-angle lens
– Quick auto-focus for photography
– Compact and lightweight design, making it easy to carry around
– Good image quality, especially for the price point
– Nice bokeh when shooting at f/2.8
Negatives:
– Plastic build quality may not hold up as well in the long term
– Loud and noticeable rattling noise when not in use can be bothersome
– Auto-focus can be distracting and slow when used for video
Conclusion:
Overall, for its price, the Sigma 19mm f/2.8 EX DN camera lens offers a decent wide-angle lens with good image quality. While its plastic build isn’t the most durable and its auto-focus can be distracting when used for video, it is still a solid choice for photography enthusiasts looking for an affordable wide-angle option.
Optical design
Has 7 aperture blades, mid-grade lenses usually have this amount of blades. Having rounded blades provides out of focus circle shape closer to a circle. Full frame equivalent focal length is 28.5 mm. Bright lens thanks to the high aperture value
Physical characteristics
With a lens filter diameter of 46 mm you are one step from the next standard filter size, buy step-up ring and bigger filter but you can chose from plenty options. Weights 140 grams so convinient to carry. 46 mm long, this small lens should be always in the camera bag.

best 19mm i ever had use it on A7Rii for lightweight travel , mountaineering backpacking where every ounce counts.
I use it in full frame mode (i have aps-c turned off) because this lens can give you approximately equivalent focal length of 21-22mm after cropping out dark corners. iT can give you wonderful sharp panorama using 19mm in a final ratio of 1:2 panoramic format. If you choose to use in APS-C mode you get about 28mm equivalent image. either way extremely lightweight sharp and fast travel lens and great value

Sigma 19 2.8 is a winner I own the Sigma prime lenses 30MM, 60MM and now the 19MM. The 19 is the older non art version. Same optics as the newer art version. The only difference is the rubber manual focus ring instead of the smooth aluminum ring on the art version.
Quality optics. Very sharp. I am using a sony a6300 and the auto focus is very quick. Manual focus also is smooth.
Photos are great. Very nice wide lens for indoor and outdoor use. Very good Macro lens.
This lens is not optically stabilized but because it is so wide at 2.8 and the 19mm fstop, it does not really need stabilization. It makes a great video lens for close up or wide angle use. I use a power gimbal stabilizer for videos most of the time but when out in the field and not having it with me, the 19 can do in a pinch.
I highly recommend this lens. Great value and great sharp photos makes for a very happy me.

Excellent product Comes with a transport “case”, a “sun visor” dont know the tecnical term..image is sharp and it focuses very close (10-15 cm). Overall good quality, tough in my 4 days of use it once refused to open… had to disconnect it and reconnect but it works very well.

Sigma 19mm f/2.8 ART DN Lens with Sony a6300 mirrorless camera It is a “fast lens” thanks to the f/2.8 maximum aperture range. I used it with my Sony a6300 mirrorless camera and the lens improved the quality of pictures taken inside a greenhouse, without the additional flash light that I really hate to use when shooting close-up.

Worth the money Yes, it rattles when there isn’t power running through it. Yes, it’s a plastic build. Yes, there are many other lenses that are far superior.
But for the price? Absolutely worth it. I’m a lover of wide angle, and this cheap (but nice) lens is perfect for just leaving on my A6300 for quick access photos. The Auto-Focus is quick (although people complain of it’s constant searching in video, but thats why you shouldn’t auto-focus in video 😛 ).
Worth it. Buy it. Use it.
