 That won't do it -- Sigma don't make manual focus lenses these days, let
alone OM-fit lenses. As far as _new_ lenses, there's a Phoenix (et al) 17-35
zoom that floats by on e*ay fairly regularly; see the archives of the list
for more comments on that, and an 18-28 lens that also crops up there.

 In OM fit, basically none -- you're pretty much stuck with what you can
find still on the shelves as far as new lenses go. (Voigtlander are
theoretically making new ones, but they aren't available yet, or something
along those lines)
