Dilemma in choosing which Format to buy Sigma 60mm F2.8

You already have the 45mm

Since you already have the 45mm, I don't think the 60mm is worth it.

60mm on the A3000 = 90mm, but at f2.8. So it won't be as fast as 45mm f1.8 is on the Panasonic, even with the larger sensor.

If you put the 60mm on the Panasonic, you just get another similar short telephoto prime. It's a little longer and a little slower, but it's going to take similar kinds of pictures.

In short, it's redundant no matter which camera you put it on.

if you want to spend some money, perhaps an upgrade to your Panasonic?  A newer Panasonic sensor can easily keep up with that Sony A3000 and make all your m4/3 lenses perform a little better.  Maybe even sell that A3000 to help pay for it, since you don't have the lens kit for it.  Might I suggest a GM5 as a nice replacement for the GF3?
