Sigma 30mm f/1.4 ART is good enough for SD1Q?
1

The upcoming SD1Q is bundled with Sigma 30 f/1.4 ART lens with the extra cost of only $200. But iwith foveon sensor it will be unforgiving to any lesser lens , compared to the Bayors camera. . So many people, or at least me, may be wondering the same question now : Is the Sigma 30 f/1.4 ART that was thrown in the bundle with the coming Sigma SD1 Quattro is good enough?

The answer would be no one knows yet until the lens comes out in July. But having look into the performance 30mm F1.4 DC HSM A , out in 2013, which looks like the same lens, it seems to be able to perform quite well, on par with the prestige full-framed 35 f/1.4 ART lens does on the aps-c camera. It could scrape 15 Mp sharpness from the 24 Mp Nikon D7100, not much different from the full-framed 35mm ART.
So it still looks good, doesn't it? One can always hope
