Sigma 19mm F2.8 DN Lens (Sony E Mount)

Sigma 19mm F2.8 DN Lens (Sony E Mount for NEX System)

The Sony NEX lens pool is slowly growing.  A few reviews and sites have been recommending the Sigma 19mm F2.8 prime lens as a decently priced prime lens for the Sony NEX system.  The Sony lenses tend to price on the higher side for equivalent prime lens performance compared to the Nikon 1 System or even for the Canon EOS M.

The lens is available currently for around $199.99.  Check out Amazon or B&HPhoto for competitive pricing. Color options are black and silver.  This allows for pairing with the various color NEX cameras.  The focus ring is a bit looser than what you find on a Sony lens but build quality is quite nice based on my initial impressions.  It comes with a lens hood and lens cap.

More thoughts to come after I spend some time with this prime.  For review/testing I plan on pairing it with a Sony NEX-5N.
