> What is the issue with Sigma making lenses for
> Olympus?
I've never owned a Sigma lens, so I am succeptible to rumors...
I have heard and read that Sigma QC is worse that Canon's. I have heard
related experiences where several lenses were exchanged to get a good one.
Further, They have a reputation of being less robust in construction than
their two competetors.
Although Cosina had now so good a reputation when making the OM-2000, their
subsequent entry into RF cameras and lenses has given them a reputation for
quality that exceeds the price. I handled a R2 in a store, and was
particularly impressed with the VF, and the camera in general seemed well
made in comparison to the low price.
I would feel better if it were Tamron making the lenses, but Sigma seems to
be at the head of the line for OEM these days.
