Small update about Sigma
As you know Sigma could soon produce new MicroFourThirds lenses. I just recieved an email from a new but very good source. He told me that “Sigma is already manufacturing lenses for FT-companies – for example the $loc = $_SESSION['geoip'];
if ($loc == 'GB' OR $loc == 'UK')
{ $sel = "1"; ?>45/2.8 Leica }
if ($loc == 'ES')
{ $sel = "1"; ?>45/2.8 Leica }
if ($loc == 'IT')
{ $sel = "1"; ?>45/2.8 Leica }
if ($loc == 'AT')
{ $sel = "1"; ?>45/2.8 Leica }
if ($loc == 'DE')
{ $sel = "1"; ?>45/2.8 Leica }
if ($loc == 'BE')
{ $sel = "1"; ?>45/2.8 Leica }
if ($loc == 'AU')
{ $sel = "1"; ?>45/2.8 Leica }
if ($loc == 'FR' OR $loc == 'FX')
{ $sel = "1"; ?>45/2.8 Leica }
if ($loc == 'NL')
{ $sel = "1"; ?>45/2.8 Leica }
if ($loc == 'CA')
{ $sel = "1"; ?>45/2.8 Leica }
if ($sel != '1')
{?>45/2.8 Leica } ?>“. That’s strange! The lens is sold by Panasonic, with quality control from Leica and manufactored by Sigma
Can’t wait to get some rumor about the future Sigma MFT lenses!

By the way, I don’t understand how the source can be completely new and reliable at the same time…. However, did he mention which could be Sigma strategy for the new lenses? Zoom VS Primes? Pancakes VS Hi-performance and fast lenses?
Thanks for the rumor!

Sorry, can’t tell you why I am sure he is a good source. As you can imagine I can’t tell you some things I know. He is definitely a good source. And hopefully he can give me some news about the future Sigma MFT lenses.
Cheers

Sigma must be making new EVIL lenses with different mounts, m4/3, NX and NEX, they said that in PMA10.
