Well, some say Sigma is short for *Significant Malfunction* I'd say, Sigma seems
to have improved, and has an intriguing 14mm fish for AF cameras. The very short
FL is where Sigma seems to be concentrating today. But, during the period when
Sigma was making OM mount lenses, their quality wasn't very good. On the other
hand, any Sigma OM mount lens that has survived 'till now was probably one of
the "good ones." The only Sigma lens I ever coveted was the 15mm Fisheye. Hard
to find and even harder in OM mount. In short, Sigma's quality is/was
questionable and there are better third party alternatives if you can't spring
for Zeeks. For a good overview see:
