Sigma announce the new 30mm F1.4 EX DC HSM for the Four Thirds fitting.
Introduction
Release Issued by Sigma:

30mm F1.4 EX DC HSM – Four Thirds fitting

 Large Maximum Aperture of F1.4
 New special lens coating reduces flare and ghosting in digital SLR cameras
 Two SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass elements and a hybrid aspherical lens provide the utmost correction for all types of aberrations
 Equipped with HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor) system

Two SLD glass elements are especially effective in the compensation of magnification chromatic aberration. A molded glass aspherical lens at the rear lens group reduces colour aberration and provides high-quality image results. The lens creates exceptionally sharp images of high contrast from its minimum focusing distance of 40cm to infinity.

The HSM design provides quiet high-speed auto-focus with full-time manual focus override. The large maximum aperture of F1.4 produces a versatile lens that performs superbly in a great range of applications including portraiture, indoor and studio work and landscape photography.

Internal focusing means the front element does not rotate, allowing for use of the screw-in petal shaped hood (included) and for convenient use of circular polarizing filters. It is also possible to attach an 62mm filter in front of the lens hood.
