Micro 4/3 Showcase Sigma 19mm f/2.8 DN Art

Didn’t notice a thread for this lens. I no longer own it, but I did enjoy it. They are becoming exceptionally affordable on the used market now, so thought I’d throw a few shot ups.

I enjoyed the nice OOF rendering, although I found the greens a bit over saturated.

This lens (the 19mm 2.8) is kinda' the odd duck lens that most people pass over for various reasons (perhaps because of the plethora of 20mm lenses with faster apertures......).
I bought a used Lumix GF1 (KEH) 5 or 6 years ago and at the same time/place bought the 19mm EX DN. A very similar lens to the Art 19mm version.
I used that combo very enthusiastically for a few years - now it mainly finds duty as my restaurant food lens on my OM D 10.1... however as a hiking or family gathering lens, I find it also very useful.
~ I certainly enjoy the Sigma 19mm enough to say itsa' keeper!

Mine was the EX DN not the Art but it is one of the favorite lenses I no longer own.

I still own mine, but I have to admit that once I got the panny 20mm 1.7, there was no good reason to take it over the special 20mm

@MountainMan79 Thanks a lot Chris! I have been trying to trim down the gear lately. Now I just won an eBay auction for this lens. I am so weak.

Nice work with that 19! ...however, I suspect that you would do well with ANY lens !! Jus' sayin' !
