As demand for digital SLR cameras increase, this decision is mainly aimed at developing products for the Four Thirds System, and is intended to meet the requirements of users who wish to enjoy the benefits of a wider range of product selection.

Sigma are going to enhance their advanced interchangeable lens development technology, and maximize our efforts to develop attractive products, which will be utilized by the Four Thirds System.

In addition to this new effort, Sigma will continue the development of their SA camera mount lens system and interchangeable lens technology overall.

I wonder how long it will be before 3rd party Olympus digital mount lenses will actually reach the market? I'm sure they won't come close to the quality of the Digital Zuiko lenses, but it'll be nice for consumers to have a less expensive choice.
