>Sigma 30mm 1.4 for micro four thirds

is this a good lens or is it shit? They go for about 250 to 300 used.

Should I just buy a 25mm panasonic/leica 1.4 lens? Which is better made?

It's different focal length. 25mm equals 50mm look, while 30mm equals 60mm. That said, it's very good lens for the price.

Distortion. Distortion will be less on a mft camera.

Where you from? These are selling for about $280 new in burgerland. If you don't NEED the extra bit of light, just get the 25mm f1.7. Optically they're all very close with good sharpness. The Pana 25mm f1.4 is NOT worth 5x the cost of the f1.7. If you need the extra light just get the Sigma. The Panasonic Leica branding is stupid.

That's not true. It's got splendid bokeh rendition, and acceptable chromatic aberation with green instead of regular purple. Big downside is lack of quality coating. Flaring, and ca are not on the level of Panasonic Leica 25mm, or even Olympus 25mm f1.8. In other areas it's better, so it's a valid option.

I'm seeing with this lens the true harm of not having any IS but on my e mount apsc its a fun lens and I like it a lot many. Chromatic abberation isn't great either, but its also not that bad and can be removed in post easily.
