You are showing pictures of the ART series. Is it only the ART series you are interested in buying? I have a mint condition 19mm DN EX lens (box and everything) that I have been thinking about selling: (

However, I am currently out of State; and will not be able to deal with it until 11/18.
This Sigma 19mm 2.8 EX DN E-Mount lens is the original version of what is now the Sigma 19mm 2.8 DN ART E-Mount lens. The two lenses are optically identical. Both have a minimum focus distance of 7.9 feet. Both have 8 optical elements in 6 groups. Both have 7 diaphragm blades. Both have the same rear lens mount. Both have the same 46mm thread front filter mount. Both have the same magnetic Auto-focus motor. The ART version has a metal body, with a shiny, smooth metal focus ring, while this original version has the more traditional plastic barrel, with a rubber ridged focus ring. As a result, the newer ART lens weighs 5.6 OZ, while this first version weighs 4.9 OZ, and appears to be about an eighth inch shorter. Initially, I bought the newer ART version; but did not like the shiny, smooth barrel (which will scratch fairly easily). So, I sold it; and bought the original version. According to DXOMark, the newer ART version is only a marginal improvement over this original version; and, in real world terms, they (as well, as myself) found it very difficult to tell any difference. I examined the glass under a bright light, with a magnifying glass. There are no chips, scratches, nicks, bubbles, pits, swirl marks, cleaning marks, dust, oil or fungus that I can see.
