[OM] Sigma DC lenses for DSLRs, E-1 too?

[Moose]

Has anyone else noticed the "S*gma 18-50mm f/3.5-5.6 DC and 55-200mm 
f/4-5.6 DC Two Lens Kit"? Available for for S*gma and Can*n Digital SLR 
Cameras, the pair is only $239 at B&H for an 11x range of focal lengths. 
Like the Oly E-1 lenses, they are designed to cover only the smaller 
sensors of most DSLRs and be smaller and lighter than lenses to cover 
the full 35mm frame., They would give a round image that doesn't fill a 
35mm frame on a film camera.
Certainly would seem to be a natural for release in 4/3 System mount, as 
they cover the slightly larger Can*n sensor. Anybody heard anything 
about performance? I wonder how the presumably designed from scratch 
18-50mm will compare in performance to the Can*n APS adaptation.
