Fast lenses and fourthirds usually dont go together in the same sentence, barring the a few of the ultra expensive zuiko zooms and the 50mm macro (hunter). This is a great lens for a great price. As an Oly user I dont feel its worth it to spend 1k or more on a pro quality lens when the bodies, as much as I love them are lagging behind the glass. This sigma is a good choice for a wide portrait lens but i wouldnt say its really a macro, not when compared to my nikkor 55mm 2.8 that gives me 1:1 with crop factor.
The quality of this piece is great and it really feels like a real lens. I know smaller and lighter is the point but this is a big piece that feels solid as any Nikkor. A bit loud but at a wedding who cares. Great colors, sharp or sharper than the Zuiko 50mm f2, and just a great buy all together.
Go Sigma for taking a chance on fourthirds! There are not enough reasonable choices unless you use converters and vintage glass as Ive been doing for the past several years.
I would recommend this lens for anyone who wants a fast good old school feeling prime for parties, general wides, bouquets (tough to get with the extra dof you get from the fourthirds sensor).
Great buy!
