Any thoughts on these two?

Assuming the price for the Sigma would be about the same as the Sony E and m43 counterparts, the Sigma will be about $190 cheaper.

Is the Canon worth $190 more?

Anyone have experience with the Sigma on a Sony or m43 system?

Unfortunately i didn't find reviewers who have reviewed both. Christopher Frost has reviewed the 32mm from Canon and the 16&56mm from sigma, but not the 30mm from sigma. Dustin Abbot didn't do both.

The Sigma is not a bad lens.  This is the sigma at 24Mp:

Unfortunately the ef-m 32mm isn't tested by dxomark.

I tested the 32mm myself. At f/2.0  it is at least as sharp as my sigma 18-35mm at f/2.8.  Wide open it is still good, but not thát good.

If your facts are different we could save the peace just by calling it copy to copy variation.
