Sigma…you want to sell some lenses…why did you make sizes very similar to many others…a good quality long zoom …this system is sorely lacking a good one ….a 70-300 equivalent…I have the 40-150…and it is very mediocre…the panny 35-100 is nice just not long enough….do some research…I am sure you have a boat load of these ART lenses that are going nowhere
Crazy talk.
Not true, some of these lenses have already sold out. The 60mm which is a top quality lens and is also discounted and sold out on BH and Adorama. The 19mm and 30mm are fabulous on the mft cameras.
The 30mm has become my everyday lens.
Olympus is coming out with a 40-150 f/2.8 later this year. That should be awesome (but expensive). I was happy they came out with the 60mm by the way. That did fill a gap for cheap long portrait lens (Oly 60 macro is great but over 2x cost of this Sigma). I do wish they had made it f/2 rather than f/2.8 though.
I wish sigma would make proper mft lenses rather than apsc lenses with
mft adapters bolted on. They’re really shaking up the market in dslr
land with their f1.8 zoom and 35 & 50mm art lenses.
Me too. And they could remount them for the Nikon and Samsung 1″ systems.
These Sigma Art lens feel pretty native to me(I know they are also available for NEX), but they are pretty small.
With 1.25mm difference in register distance I would not call it exactly an adapter (try to make one not bolted on!). It just covers a wider image circle (so we benefit from less vignetting and better corner sharpness). The only benefit from a true native m4/3 design would have been a (potentially) smaller size. But wouldn’t you have wished that Sigma had found a way to make a metabone-type adaptation on the existing lenses instead, to produce a mouth-watering compact, sharp, fast 12.5/2 and 20/2 lens instead?
The 19 and 30 are both decent, but the 60 is SO SO good!!! Slow, but renders as well as anything except the Nocticron. True story bro!
That one is $30 off now as well. Not sure why admin left it off.
If you don’t have it, buy it. It really is that good!
Bought it! 🙂
And if folks actually buy them, Sigma might start to think there is a market for m43 mount lenses and we may see some native lenses. Aside from the Nocticron, you will not find a better lens for outdoor/well lit environmental portraits than the Sigma 60. Yes, its better than than the O45, PL25, O75 and any zooms (if you don’t believe me, try it). And its dirt cheap.
It’s a great lens(have one too), but claiming it’s any better than the O75 is one bridge to far. That lens is really on another level, not to mention a lot brighter(also faster autofocus).
But the Sigma 60mm is a lens you should buy if you like doing portraits and don’t have the O60(which is nearly as good, and of course much better for Macro) or O75. It’s a bargain.
the 60 is a nice lens…but for me 2.8 is too slow…but if you want to talk bang for your buck…it is a nice choice
You can also find the 19, 30 and 60 discounted on AmazonUk
At those prices the temptation to complement my 20/1.7 is irresistible. But would succumbing to it reflect a recognition of a real need, or of a merely marginal need, or would it just be a surrender to irrational and insatiable gear-lust? Would I actually use them, or would they merely gather dust?
I’m going through the same thing. The 20/1.7 is so compact and versatile that I decided the 19 would just collect dust. I have the 60 though and am very happy with it.
So do I, so do I! 🙂
relax, none of this is going to take you away from your main hobby, which has nothing to do with photography anyway.
SD, making fun of you isn’t a hobby. It’s a public service 🙂
Hope Sigma will bring the Foveon Technology to m43. This would be a massive boost for the system.
