Sigma's redesigned 30mm and 19mm

No wonder there is such price drop on their current mirrorless 30mm and 19mm...

SIGMA 19mm F2.8 DN | sigmaphoto.com

I think new design is much more appealing compare to plastic/toy looking current models?

So glad I did not press the push button on the previous ones. Not sure I will buy these either - I think they may be more appealing to micro 4/3.

I have decided to stick with either M-mount or Sony lenses only - the new NEX-6 firmware upgrade coming out will support Hybrid AF for most of the Sony lenses in my collection (apart from the 16mm prime, which has been superseded by the 10-18 and the 16-50 zooms anyway).

Is the optical design still the same?

Image stabilization would have been a nice add.

From press release:
" the 30mm F2.8 DN and 19mm F2.8 DN lenses are existing focal lengths that have been redesigned with enhanced optical performance"
