  • Have you seen the length of the Olympus 60mm macro?  The Sigma 60mm looks to be about 1/2 total length.  That is a huge benefit!
  • The polished barrels seem very odd.  Finger print magnets.  Has anyone ever seen an interchangeable camera lens with polished metal barrels?
  • m4/3 is the mirror less market leader.  The lenses are selling well at their current prices. If people stopped buying the m4/3 lenses, then they would be cheaper, like the Nikon 1 and Samsung...
  • Depends on the definition of better.  The average consumers is more than happy with the OM-D's HD video.  The average consumer is thrilled by a revolutionary IBIS system that makes handheld video...
  • The OM-D is the king of the hill of m4/3, and of the entire mirrorless segment.  People don't recognize this because mirrorless is still a smallish segment of the overall market and Olympus has...
  • Old camera models never die, they just go Amazon to be sold at cost.  I wouldn't be surprised if they sell old models for a profit.   Small plastic bodied models like the GF3, E-PL1 are not...
  • The GF6 seems too chunky for the target market of the GF3/GF5.  It looks significantly thicker than the E-PM2 and E-PL5.  If they aren't selling to the smaller is better market then the enthusiasts...
  • Is there a special reason why they aren't using the sensor from the GH3? They are really putting this offering up at a disadvantage to the E-PL5, which has the superior sensor.
  • I don't even bother with kit zoom indoors with the E-PL1.  I use the Sigma 30mm 2.8.The most obvious benefit is the background blur you can get with portraits over the zoom.  The bokeh of OOF...
  • Replied in EPL 3 lenses?
    The Sigma 30mm is sharper than the kit lens, focuses faster, 2.8 aperture allows my E-PL1 to be shot indoors, and it provides excellent subject isolation and bokeh.  It focuses silently and faster...
  • And what proof do you have for that? The E-PL1 has been one of the top selling cameras on Amazon for the past 3 years.  I would be interested to see the date of production on recent a E-PL1 which...
  • The 30mm is sharper than the kit lens, focuses faster, 2.8 aperture allows my E-PL1 to be shot indoors, and it provides excellent subject isolation and bokeh.  It focuses silently and faster than...
  • Move along, nothing new here.The compact camera portion of the market is busy dying or contracting in a major way.  Everyone knows this.  The smart phone is killing it.The m4/3 market is expanding...
  • Actually, you can get the Sigma 30mm for $99.00.
  • The 30mm is sharper than the kit lens, focuses faster, 2.8 aperture allows my E-PL1 to be shot indoors, and it provides excellent subject isolation and bokeh.  The only disadvantage is that the...
  • The pancake primes are not doable by any third party for one reason: software.All of the native pancake primes are software corrected, significantly software corrected.The investment in resources...
  • Replied in 19mm vs 30mm
    You want the 30mm for one reason: subject isolation, i.e. background blur.  You want your 6 year old to pop off of the shot.To get the same subject isolation with the 19mm, you have to place the...
  • Yes, keep the Sigma 30mm.  As much as I like my Canon 50mm 1.4 for portraits, I use the Sigma 30mm more because of AF for shots like these:
  • Because to take the following picture with the 45 or the 75, I would have had to purchase a highly expensive pair of anti-gravity boots. These boots would have allowed me to levitate on the other...
  • My guess is that they also re-use the 50mm.  Two things keep in mind:1. If Sigma can make money selling lenses for m4/3 for $150.00, then they don't need to be concerned with not duplicating an...
