A greatly overlooked portrait lens...

Re: If you like the 30mm, you'll really, really like the 60mm.

I've just picked up one of the new "Art" versions of the 30mm as a general walk-around lens for my GM5.

Very similar size to the 15mm PL:

I tried to love the 12-32mm kit lens, but found myself either using it at 12-15mm and wishing it was faster or using it at 32mm and wishing it was slightly longer.

As I own both the 15mm f1.7 PL and the 35-100mm f4-f5.6, it made no sense to me to use the 12-32mm this way and BGAS (Budget Gear Acqusition Syndrome) got the better of me.

Am very much looking forward to using the little Sigma over the next few days.
