Sigma 35mm F/2 "I" lens on the S1r

One way to check the performance on these new small Sigma lenses, which appear to be a great choice for travel, landscapes, etc, is to try them out on a high resolution camera like the Lumix S1r. So that is what I did today in London. I'm delighted with this lens and its 24mm sister lens. To make my happiness complete, a F4.5 or even F/5.6 18mm option would be great; fast lenses are not usually required if the the lens is stopped down to F/11 or so, and I will happily take my faster alternatives along when necessary, and if it is required, then I have the Sigma 14-24mm F/2.8mmZoom

The 35mm is also great for semi-macro and studio work. This is an overhead shot of a sourdough loaf I baked and decorated today, its pin sharp. No wonder Sigma are so enthusiastic about these new "I" contemporary lenses.
