Sigma offerings for E-mount

<p>A couple of offerings the last couple of days may prove of interest to those with e-mount cameras. Two new lenses, one of which is a 35 f/1.4 for the APS-C format. A fast f/1.8 50-100mm lens announced at the same time doesn't come in e-mount flavor. However the announcement of a new e-mount converter created by Sigma for its Canon mount and Sigma SA mount lenses could open up the availability of that and other Sigma lenses to Sony e-mount owners. I am not sure if Sigma making an e-mount converter specifically for its lenses is a necessarily good thing but it seems like a good idea at least.<br>

<p>Well, another fast normal prime option is certainly welcome. Maybe all three of the people who own Sigma mount lenses and also have an E mount camera will buy the adapter... </p>

<p>Andy, i sense a bit of tongue in cheek, but the adapter is also made for Canon mount Sigma lenses... curious that they wouldn't also make it in a Nikon flavor, but maybe that is just them testing the waters.</p>

<p>The new, fast 30mm looks interesting and the price is right but I already have the Sigma ART 30mm f/2.8 and it's so good I'm loath to part with it. We'll see how this new one shakes out.</p>

<p>Looks like the new 30/f1.4 is twice the weight and double the (current) cost of the older f2.8 Art version.</p>
