Difficult to believe it was 2006 when that lens was announced, Sigma
also has the 150 macro for FT as well--quite substantial

They just announced an image stabilized version of the 150 macro but
not clear what mounts.

One might expect 3rd party support to diminish or rather vanish with
the Oly announcement.
Seems they torpedoed some enthusiasm for their new flagship body even
if this was anticipated.

FL,
very sharp, well made and real focusing.
