Re: Sony 20mm f/2.8 pancake may be reason for Sigma deals?

This 20 looks like a little brother of the 35. Hopefully the quality is up to par. Even still could it be that much better than the 16? Esp if you are cropping out 4mm of corner?

Also I wonder if Sigma is in the process of responding to this. Why else are they wholesaling their stuff?

Maybe, but I don't see that Sony has a real competitive advantage here. At best, it will be as sharp as the Sigma 19mm, but cost $100+ more. It doesn't add OSS, so the only real advantage I see is that it's Sony-branded, and more compact than the Sigma (and 20 is a nice round number).
