(Medium credibility rumor):
Image on top shows the current Sigma ART E-mount lens lineup.
There is a rumor coming form the Sigma front. According to one source:
Sigma is readying a new 24mm f/2.8 DN Art lens for APS-C E-Mount. Expect higher sharpness when compared to the 30mm, about the same level of sharpness as with the 60mm. Autofocus is speedier too compared to the 30mm. Announcement will come very soon within September.
We also heard from another source the lens will be available for Micro Four Thirds too!

I hope it’s a better design than these ones. Focus ring is horrible to use.
I really like the 60mm. It’s crazy sharp and the smooth focus ring doesn’t bother me much. I wish its aperture would be a bit faster, but you can’t have it all for that price.
On one hand I think this will be the killer compact lens for APS-C E-mount. Much like the Panny 20/1.7 on M43, or like the Zeiss 35/2.8 on the A7.
On the other hand I wish Sigma would work on some compact f/2.8 prime lenses for full frame E-mount as well…
It would be nice if Sigma made lenses for mirrorless systems with wider max aperture. I own the 30mm 2.8 for MFT and its a fantastic lens, and the only reason I don’t use it more is because of its rather small aperture. It doesn’t have to be a crazy f0.95, I’m just asking for 2 more stops, and I would not mind paying a bit extra for that.
