Hello,
Thought my first post wouldnt be me asking something from the forum, but instead me sharing something.
This is a little test/review of my 60mm for my GH3.

Any idea of the price.......:2vrolijk_08:

Basic YouTube doesn't really do justice to video clips, but if they are anywhere close to the stills quality, it could be an interesting lens (depending on the price).

Thanks for the review.

Im not sure about the price, but I think its in the sub 200 dollar area :Drogar-BigGrin(DBG)

I would say it is a verry interesting lens since its verry good. Its like what Blunty said in his review of the 30mm model, "This isnt a good lens for the price, its just a good lens".
The cool thing with the new ART-series is that you can buy all of them, the 19mm, 30mm and the 60mm all of which is f2.8 for less than 600 dollars total! Next time a beginner asks me the old "what lenses should I buy" I know what my answer will be.

Here is Bluntys review of the 30mm.

Thank you for this review. I was very interested in the Sigma lenses at one point. Most people on here however almost always dismiss any lens slower than f1.8 for shooting video. From what I heard of the 19mm and 30mm they were very well made lenses and I had hoped the 60mm would be good as well. Alas for me it is too late since I just purchased the Olypmpus 60mm f2.8 macro lens. I felt getting a lens that can do macro would make the lens more versatile. Yeah it cost more but it is macro and optically may be a bit better than the Sigma. I do wish it were a bit faster at times when using it as a telephoto lens.
