Raising the Mirrorless Standards
At home under the Art category, this high-performance standard lens is designed exclusively for mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras and has the equivalent angle of view as 120mm on the Micro Four Thirds system and 90mm on the E-mount system (35mm equivalent focal length. This lens features SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass, which helps minimize axial and transverse chromatic aberration. Glass mold aspherical lenses help minimize coma. Optimized power distribution helps ensure exceptional image quality from the center to the edges of the images. In addition, the inner focusing system corrects the fluctuation of aberration to maintain image quality regardless of the focusing position. The superior telecentric optical design improves the image quality throughout the frame. The optical design also allows the lens to be compact and lightweight. This lens benefits from a newly developed linear AF motor, which moves the lens elements directly without the need for gears or the drive of other mechanical parts. This system ensures accurate and quiet autofocusing, making the lens suitable for video recording as well as still photos. The lens features a rounded 7-blade diaphragm creating an attractive blur to the out of focus areas of the image. This Sigma 60mm F2.8 DN has a minimum focusing distance of 50cm/19.7in and a maximum magnification ratio of 1:7.2, and comes in either a silver or black finish.
Dimensions (Diameter x Length): 60.8mm x 55.5mm / 2.4in x 2.2in
Weight: 190g / 6.7oz.

I used to manage a professional photo store for years and tested most of what Nikon, Canon, and Tamron manufactured at the time. I'm particular about my equipment and a pixel peeper. The Sigma is an outstanding lens at a rock bottom price. Wide open the Sigma is sharp from edge to edge. It's quite impressive! The image quality is exceptional if shooting in the f/2.8-8.0 range. Stopping down further, the image quality does falls off. The image quality is of the Sigma 60mm is on par with that of my Olympus 45mm f/1.8. I haven't shot the Olympus 75mm but from the pictures I've seen from it and those I've taken with the Sigma, I feel the Sigma is every bit as sharp also. According to LensTip's resolution tests, they show the Sigma being as sharp or a hair sharper.
Having 1 1/3 stops faster lens, like the Olympus 75mm, is nice for low light situations. However when shooting for shallow depth of field in daylight I often have to stop down to f/2.8-3.5 with my fast M43 lenses anyway because most M43 cameras have a top shutter speed of 1/4000 and a low ISO of 160 or 200. In those situations I often can't utilize the fast speed/shallow depth of field of a lens without a ND filter. That being said having a f/2.8 lens verses f/1.8 isn't as big of a trade as has been with other cameras systems for me.
The Sigma 60mm is made in Japan and the build quality is good, noticeably better than other Sigma lenses I've played around with in its price range. The Sigma 60mm is compact, all things considered. It is slightly longer and fatter than the Panasonic 14-42mm V2 kit lens but half the size of the Nikon 135mm f/2.8 lens I used to shoot. The Sigma 60mm feels good when shooting and the focusing ring is smooth. Like many Panasonic M43 lenses, the Sigma 60mm lens rattles until the camera is turned on. It is completely normal but something that could throw off some people, perhaps Olympus shooters more than Panasonic.
SUMMARY:
The Sigma 60mm f/2.8 is an outstanding lens. It is sharp from edge to edge wide open. It is well built and feels good when shooting. Considering it sells for $240 or less, the Sigma 60mm is a no brainer if you are in the market for a fast telephoto prime lens. I highly recommend it. My only regret is that I didn't purchase it sooner.
--DR
I am still building my m4/3 lens line up. I have 12-100 for travel and 12-40 for other situations that size and weight are less critical. I also have 75-300. So I have a gap between 40 and 75; hence this is where this Sigma 60 comes in. It is exceptionally sharp and even across the frame. With this Sigma, I now have f/2.8 from 12mm to 60mm! AF is fast and secure with no hesitation. Longer FL is not a must have for me, so the Oly 75 is not in my plan mainly because of cost. This Sigma is so good and so inexpensive that it is really a no brainer for me. Construction is solid, like other Sigmas I have. The rattling sound can be a little disturbing, but apparently has no impact on the functioning of the lens.
Bottom line: Highly recommended.

La calidad del lente es muy buena con su f2.8
se hacen muy buenos desenfoques y es muy luminoso.
Un contra que tiene es que al no tener estabilizador en fotos de noche
y por arriba de 1/10 si no tienes estabilidad tu foto puede salir un poco movida
En resumen es un gran lente es el primero que compro y lo uso en mi Sony
a6000
また望遠を活かした花の撮影では、ボケを使った表現がしやすくて、今まで撮れなかった写真が撮れるようになりました。
写真撮影の楽しみを増やしてくれるレンズだと思います。
La lente è estremamente nitida, lo sfocato piacevole (con i limiti ovviamente del formato del sensore) e l'autofocus veloce.
Non ho notato dominanti fastidiose, anzi trovo estremamente naturale la riproduzione dei colori. La costruzione è molto buona anche se si sente qualche rumore muovendo la lente a macchina spenta (sigma sulle istruzioni riporta la cosa come perfettamente normale), tutto sommato per il prezzo che ha non potevo chiedere di meglio.
Il sigma 60mm DN è una ottima alternativa alle lenti panasonic e olympus da ritratto, compete senza nessun timore con lenti ben più costose, stupisce poi che nella confezione sono presenti una custodia semi rigida e il paraluce (OLYMPUS fa pagare a parte tutto nonostante i prezzi dei suoi obiettivi ben più alti...)
