Interesting new Sigma portrait lens for m4/3

[Jorgen Udvang]

The Sigma 56mm f/1.4 is designed for APS-C, but in addition to Sony E-mount, it's also available in m4/3 mount. The samples, although taken with a Sony A7 II with much lower pixel pitch, look quite promising:

Weight is apparently just 280g, lighter than the Panasonic and Zuiko alternatives, and price is a nice $479.

Seems to be a great alternative (weight and price) to the Olympus 1.2/45 ....

For photographers on a budget, it can replace both the 45 and the 75mm. At the moment, I have the Samyang 50mm f/1.2 for that, but it's manual focus only, and the bokeh seems nicer on the Sigma.
