New Sigma 60mm F2.8 DN - Guest - 01-29-2013 Much more info then on any news site could be found here: http://www.sigma-global.com/en/lenses/cas/product/art/a_60_28/features.html MTF: No lens construction yet. By the way, redesigned 19/2.8 & 30/2.8 are shown with exactly same lens designs & MTFs Same shallow lens hood for all 3 lenses: New Sigma 60mm F2.8 DN - Sylvain - 01-29-2013 Anybody else puzzled by the smooth barrel ?? Is it still a "focus ring" ? Also, still no lens designed only around MFT. A bit sad to see Sigma behind Tamron here. New Sigma 60mm F2.8 DN - Klaus - 01-29-2013 I've to admit that I'm a little annoyed. I just tested the 19 & 30 in their old incarnation ... New Sigma 60mm F2.8 DN - Sylvain - 01-29-2013 19 and 30 are identical, aren't they ?

New Sigma 60mm F2.8 DN - joachim - 01-29-2013 Double posting removed New Sigma 60mm F2.8 DN - Guest - 01-30-2013 Does the 60 make sense given the olympus 60f2.8 which is a stellar lens in addition to being macro ? Maybe they started designing it before olympus annoucement but I find it difficult to see how this lens can compete. New Sigma 60mm F2.8 DN - Sylvain - 01-30-2013 On price ? If it's priced like the other two between 100-200€ New Sigma 60mm F2.8 DN - Guest - 01-30-2013 It might be less than the macro but the macro is not outrageous like the 75 (though like all olympus lenses the hood is outrageous). Also the near total lack of loca on the 60 along with very high resolution and pleasing bokeh well we shall see <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> New Sigma 60mm F2.8 DN - Guest - 01-30-2013 [quote name='you2' timestamp='1359554383' post='21653'] Does the 60 make sense given the olympus 60f2.8 which is a stellar lens in addition to being macro ?

If it´s good and cheap I might actually sell my 60mm M.Zuiko because I don´t need true 1:1 macro stuff that often.
