Quote:$1300 for a 24mm f2.8 FF equivalent... Nice. And to think that the FF Sigma 20mm f1.4 Art costs $900.
 

It still is a 12 mm, even if 24 mm equivalent, and it still is a F/1.4 even if F/2.8 DoF equivalent.

 

In addition, micro 4/3 lenses need to be a lot sharper than, e.g., FF lenses, and are produced in much smaller quantities.

 

And being such small lenses, with the increased precision required, and the above, just makes these lenses pricy.

 

You can't compare them with FF or APS-C lenses, but even then, Fuji lenses f.e are not cheap either, for exactly the same reasons.
