For Sigma it's tempting: Producing affordable lenses for another mirrorless system (and also highclass FF mirrorless, not only small APS-C Contemporary types). Getting direct access to specs, coordinating their products (which Leica hasn't) and continue their work with making great alternative glass fpr DSLRs, until they have reverse engineerd the R- and Z-mounts.
Panasonic is already cooperating with Leica, exchanging optics and bodies, like Leica and Minolta did before. More or less it's just branding, cosmetics and design, but I doubt a Panasonic lens will be much worse than the Leica version. Or?
I'm just afraid, there will only be a couple of buyers left for the masses of very interesting and exciting products coming up this autumns til next spring.
