Sigma-Photo-logo
This month Sigma is rumored to announce a new 24mm f/2.8 DN lens for Micro Four Thirds cameras. The lens is expected to be very sharp (about the same sharpness as the 60mm). Sigma is already producing three different lenses for MFT (19mm, 30mm and 60mm). I am not sure if the 24mm lens will be released also in Sony E-mount.
