I hope their m43 lenses are designed as such and not just larger format lenses with m43 mounts.
Id be interested in this. Maybe a 25mm too.Sigma could make a lot of money by bringing out a relatively small 50mm f/1.8 or similar lens. It's good to see them on board!

Question is where is Leica if m43 takes of in a big way they will regret it.
You know what I'd like to see Sigma do...
Make an adapter that will provide aperture and AF function for your existing Nikon and Canon lenses. If I switch from Nikon, I'd like to hang on to one or two lenses, particularly my 150 macro, but I can't control aperture with any adapter in existence today.
Leica's already there as much as they want to be. Panasonic and Leica already have co-branded higher-end cameras and lenses, plus Leica lenses going back to the 30s can be adapted to use on µ4/3. Given that Leica can't keep M lenses in stock for their M cameras, I don't think there's a whole bunch Leica's going to lose out by not going more deeply into µ4/3.
It's important to note that Leica's philosophy is not product model churn that so dominates the digital camera world. In the M series, they've had sixteen distinct models over 57 years. In digital Ms, three models in five years.
(I have an adapter that provides aperture control on AF-S lenses)
Can you point me to a good source?
I'm on the verge of purchasing an EPL2 now, but I am having trouble finding an adapter that provides aperture control AND has good reviews or recommendations.
Thanks!
The models MFT/NIK, MFT/MIN-AF, MFT/PENT, NEX/NIK, NEX/MIN-AF, NEX/PENT, NX/NIK, NX/MIN-AF, NX/PENT and EOS/NIK NT (for Nikon, Sony Alpha / Minolta AF and Pentax K lenses) are equipped with an integrated aperture control ring and can also be used with lenses that do not come with manual aperture control ring anymore.
.......besides Leica is simply not the force in optics any more the German so called supremacy is over has been for decades.
Leica still has pull because of its reputation and overpriced optics.
