The Sigma 19mm f/2.8 DN Art is, like the other two DN lenses, a high quality optic for an extremely reasonable price. While the lens doesn’t shine quite as brightly as the 30mm and 60mm lenses, it is nevertheless an excellent lens that produces sharp, contrasty and colorful images in a compact and tightly assembled body, for the bargain price of $199.
While the lens isn’t quite as sharp on the edges as the other Sigma mirrorless lenses, and has some moderate distortion and chromatic aberration, overall the imaging characteristics are excellent and the 19mm is capable of producing high quality images. Highly recommended!
