High Quality MFT Portrait Lens by Sigma at a Bargain Price

Sigma's latest offering for the Micro Four Thirds system is a quiet inexpensive lens with a surprisingly low price tag.  At 120 mm equivalent focal length, Sigma 60mm f/2.8 DN Lens is ideal for street portrait shooting or for a typical short tele-photo needs.  What's intestesting about this lens is that the optics in this unit is identical to the SONY NEX version with its APS-C sensor, giving you a slight disadvantage in side for a slight edge in certain performance categories.

You can get one of this neat lens for under $250 today which is basically less than half of what Olympus 60 mm macro / telephoto lens costs.

There is an excellent comparison review done by a Korean website comparing the two aforementioned lenses from Sigma and Olympus.  Most of the reviews are done in photo comparisons so don't worry if you cannot read Korean.
