Yep, Sigma seem to be pushing the boundaries of becoming a good OEM. If they get a camera with a distinct advantage (eg. FOVEON) which sells well, they will be up there with the rest of them. The only real disadvantage to Sigma these days is lack of SMC (like all other than Pentax), compatibility issues (not an issue with their own mount, surely), and build quality (which I rate as very good on the EX range, and comparitively OK even at the cheapo range).
If their bodies sell well enough, Tamron and Tokina would be stupid not to make lenses in that mount! > -----Original Message----- > From: Mark Roberts [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sigma's EX series lenses appear to be very good indeed and I > do respect the fact > that Sigma appears to be the only "third party" lens maker > dovoting a lot of > effort to good primes as well as zooms.
