Pretty amazing from Sigma! In the meanwhile Leica is still working on the 21mm and the 24mm f2 lenses that it announced 5 years ago…
I gave up on them a long time ago. I think the product management team lost the roadmap and forgot about these products.
I purchased the Sigma 20mm/1.4 and it is spectacular. Long live Sigma and Panasonic L mount that is Leicaโs salvation for L mount.
I recently purchased the Panasonic 70-300/4-5.6. It is not even a shadow of the sensational Leica 90-280 2.8/4 lens. However, it is reasonably sharp throughout the zoom range and has a smooth bokeh. It is so compact I can carry it all the time. On about my 5th image, I managed to capture a beautiful image of the Great Blue Heron taking off. I use my topaz software to sharpen the image. I wish I had pursued this lens a lot sooner.
I would not be a SL system owner if I did not have Panasonic and Sigma filling out the many missing Leica options.
A wonderful addition to the L mount family.
I noticed the “Made in Japan craftsmanship” on Sigma’s literature. Apparently that still has cachet
