Sigma 19mm f/2.8 EX DN Handling and Features

High quality plastics with a matte finish have been used for the lens barrel construction and the lens mount is made of metal. Weighing only 140g, this lens is the perfect companion to smaller camera bodies, just like the Panasonic Lumix GF3 used for testing.

As focusing is performed internally the 46mm filter thread does not rotate during use and the lens does not extend, making this lens ideal for use with graduated and polarising filters. Focus speeds are very quick and the wide manual focus ring offers just enough resistance to make applying fine adjustments fairly straightforward. The new linear focusing system does not hold the focusing group in pace when not in use, so a disconcerting rattle can be heard when the lens is tilted and the camera not switched on. This is perfectly normal for the type of focusing system used.

The minimum focus distance of 20cm is great for shooting in claustrophobic environments and for taking close up images.
