Of course, I'm not saying it's better than the Oly, and some people have considered it the weakest of the three Sigmas, but I wouldn't spend the extra money.

My rating of the three Sigmas, starting with the best, is: 60, 30, 19.

This is not very unexpected. Due to the retrofocal design, it is generally more difficult to design a good wide angle lens than a good medium tele lens. So it is common to see higher quality on tele primes than wide angle primes, given the same aperture and/or price level.
