New Sigma lenses for the NEX system.

Saw this on SAR. I dont know why the headline reads the way it does, but nonetheless good news for increased AF lens choices. I suspect there will be others too, but this is a lean in the right direction.

I am particularly interested in the 30/2.8. The size, at 1.5 inches deep is pretty compact. Black color is a good thing too!

I'd really like to see Sigma retool the 8-16 zoom for e-mount. That would be sweet. but it's good to see someone besides Tamron get into the game. This year should be exciting for e-mount lenses.

These are for both MFT and NEX. Here's the official Sigma press release:

This is very good news.

No f1.4, I wish Sigma would have launched their 30/1.4 for E mount. Just wondering is it difficult to produce faster lenses as flange distance reduces?
