Did you have a chance to compare the Sigma 19 with the kit lens at the wide end?Big time, especially the 30mm. The 30mm is very sharp across the frame on NEX at all apertures, from what I can tell so far. I've decided to put together an AF lens lineup, and the 19mm, 30mm, and Sony 24 and 50, seems that it'll be a great, versatile lineup. The 19mm is the least impressive, but, compared to any other wides I've used on NEX, it's pretty good at the edges. Just not great. In the middle parts of the frame, it is very sharp.
For $400 for the pair, I think the two "Sigmarits" are hard to ignore.
Jono: +1! That is stunning. :salute:Jono - this shot is absolutely stunning. What a fantastic capture!
Taylor: My office is just East of Fremont. I'm frequently wandering around there at lunch. You have a lot to shoot in Ballard. We'll run into each other at some point.Thanks Matt! - my current fave is the "POSTED" shot, of that set.
Yeah, I saw another photographer across the way at one point when I was out on this excursion, then later saw your Sigma shots online and wondered if that was you. But looks like you stuck around the Fremont area. Eventually I may run out of things to shoot in Ballard and end up invading your turf! ;-)
Thanks Matt, for showing us why we need to step out of the dark ages, camera-wise .Had the pleasure of lunch, today, with Ashwin, Lloyd and Mimi, and my wife, Marleigh. Lloyd and Mimi were catching a flight home out of Seattle. Great to meet people that you've come to know through this forum. Lloyd's as nice in person as you'd imagine from his posts; and Mimi's as nice in person as she photographs. :thumbs: Ashwin's....Ashwin.
I don't know what i was thinking? I didn't bring a Leica! So, I did something their low-tech cameras couldn't do...I shot two panoramas. I don't understand why Mimi was laughing?
ps. Ashwin and Lloyd seemed stretched in the second one?
Cheers, Matt

I got my 30mm from Digital Rev, and it arrived ok. $190 is a good deal.Mike - Matt - Thank you for the kind words (it was a two minute trip out at the back of the office).
Lloyd seems to have grown a beard, and a camera that makes you look thinner seems bound to succeed. Mimi looks fab as ever, and Ashwin . . . well, Ashwin is Ashwin :ROTFL::ROTFL: I see no sign of Marleigh though - seems that she's wise enough to sit next to the photographer!.
Matt - love the red flower shot . . . . now I need to buy the 30 macro as well (dammit).
I did try and order the Sigma 30 from digital rev last night, but something went wrong, and I don't think the order went through.
Went for a walk at lunch with the Hexanon 85mm f1.8...
