Sigma uses it's own format and mount, 1.7x crop at 2:3 rather than a real 4/3rds camera. They do make their lenses in 4/3rds mount, but only Leica and Olympus make lenses designed for 4/3rds (Leica does the lenses for Panasonic) -Adam -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
