I noticed this too. If they made other mounts available, I would also
be very interested indeed. Sigma has some great lenses,
but they also have some less-then-great ones, and quality control (and
build quality) definitely suffers. But at ~$2000 this
camera is interesting. I can't believe they tried their luck with the ~
$9000 pricing...
I don't know what the flange-sensor distance of the Sigma mount is,
but I am assuming it can't accommodate OM lenses + adaptor?
