Backordered already... I have the NEX5R. This may be worth getting if it gets back in stock.

Would be nice to see something like a 16mm and a 40 or 50mm. Not much difference between the 19mm & 30mm combo.

It will be hard for me to switch from my 30mm to anything else (even something high-quality like an EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM for my Canon 600d) indoors.
I agree that something wider than the 19mm (like the 16mm you mentioned) would be welcome.

I ordered them yesterday when they were backordered and i got a shipping info this morning. Good reviews on these lenses.
1) Very good build quality 2) Sharp image 3) Very good bokeh (background blur) 4) Fully compatible with camera functions/as if native lens
I use it primarily for video with excellent results. It came with a front and back lens caps and soft case with zipper. I thought the $149 sale I got just the one was a good deal; both now for $199?
Definitely a great deal/would recommend.

I currently use Sony 50mm prime with my A300 and the quality of the pics is just amazing (to be honest as good as any of the pics i have seen so far and that includes prof quality) - 30mm would be an awesome add to my collection. Two lenses for the price of $199 is too good to pass. I am going to get rid of my 28mm quantary. I hope my order ships quickly. Cant wait to test these out !
thanks fatwallet.com/OP !

I would like to remind you that these are E Mount lenses, not A Mount lenses. They're for NEX cameras only.
Look on the right for direct ship from Amazon for $161.
Cold deal, IMO unless I'm missing something.
This deal is for the 19mm and 30mm lenses. You get both for $199. Your link is $140 for just the 19mm. Ah, reading comprehension. Thanks.

Good to know that shipped yours already. I placed the order today and it was on back order. After reading your post I am hoping mine will be shipped sometime next week. I am currently using my manual focus Canon FD lenses on my new E-PL1. While the photos are excellent I am having problem focusing using Live view in dimly lit scenes and I don't want buy the EVF. These would definitely come in handy in such situations. I saw the sample photos taken by this lens,read many reviews and was simply blown over by the quality and price point advantage of these two lenses.
