Sigma 30mm f/2.8 EX DN (Micro Four Thirds)
In the world of photography, Sigma has been one of the most sought-after 3rd party lens maker as an alternative options for photographers out there. In these few recent years, imaging system and technology has evolved a lot.
From bulky brick weight size DSLR has been re-designed and re-made into a smaller compact size, without sacrificing the quality of the image but yet some even surpassed some higher end out there. Therefore, Mirrorless System has been introduced into the market and in a short years, it has been accept and welcomed by many consumers out there.
No doubt, getting the manufacturer's brand is quite pricey, and Sigma has designed some solution for us...they are the 19mm, 30mm and the 60mm prime lens. These three are very capable performer. Because of I wanted something less wider, so I went for the 30mm...which is just nice for my photography style :)

In term of look & feel, the Sigma 30mm is obviously bulkier than the famous Panasonic 14mm f/2.5 Pancake but still, it is not as bulky as the typical Nifty Fifty that most DSLR always had. The Sigma 30mm work perfectly fine on my Olympus PEN E-PL5. The AF speed is decent and the sharpness is excellent for a prime lens at this price tag. And best of all, the sharpness is very good even at open wide f/2.8! Only need to stop down to f/4 if the scenery contrast is too high/bright.
