Can't wait, the backorder is over and mine are on the way. After what I've heard from PlasticMotif and seen here I'm pretty excited about the purchase.

The 19 comes with an hood. The 30 doesn't come with a hood because its not needed according to Sigma.
That's certainly true for any lens whose front element you don't mind getting scratched.
Not supplying lens hoods has now become an epidemic. Complain!

Recieved mine on Monday. So happy to have these great lenses back in my arsenal. Great deal!
just got mine too. 30mm performance seems as advertised, but not a replacement for my g28. 19mm seems pretty soft wide open but noticeably better than the 16mm stopped down.
man that rattling when you move them is scary sounding though. will these things survive a lot of bouncing?
p.s. anybody know if there is a way to turn off the automatic focus magnification when you touch the focus ring without also turning off the ability get focus magnification by pressing a button (on a NEX-7)?
Got mine yesterday evening. So far I'm impressed by both of them to say the least. Very sharp and although they aren't nicely machined metal masterpieces they have a decent enough feel to them, not as cheap as I expected. Best 200.00 lens kit I've seen to say the least.
Sweet deal. I picked up the pair and am very pleased with them. Nice build quality and very sharp images. And I love that Sigma includes a case for both and a really nice hood for the 19mm. Well done Sigma.
