I was about ready to spring for the Sigma when Leica announced their 
own f1.4 prime. Also, the Leica 25mm makes a slightly wider "normal" 
lens on fourthirds than the Sigma 30mm. A 25mm f1.4 on the Olympus 
E-330 would make a wonderful combination in low light, especially 
with the technique of being able to brace the camera on something 
while looking down into the live-view LCD viewfinder tilted back at 
ninety degrees. Now if someone would just put image stabilization 
into a fourthirds body!
