Re: A greatly overlooked portrait lens...

As per above, the Sigma lenses are great, they're sharp, and they do a good job. As a prime shooter I can't get interested in them either though as they're only F/2.8 lenses which is not why I shoot with primes.

I shoot with primes on micro four thirds, to recover the disadvantage from other standards such as APS-C and full frame. Anything that doesn't give me the equivalence of at least F/4 doesn't really do it for me with primes and I've got almost the full kit of slow Olympus zooms.
