[QUOTE="speedandstyle, post: 84983, member: 10745"] To add to this - what lenses should Sigma make{I would also add Tamron and Tokina to the mix}. Here are my ideas! #1 a fast normal prime. The Nikkor 18.5mm is an f1.8 which is good but with mirrorless faster is easier than with an SLR due to the shorter registration distance. I would want at least an f1.4 and hopefully even faster. #2 fast kit range zoom say 12 or 13mm to 37 or 40mm {about a 35mm-100mm in FF} with a constant f2.8. Kit lenses can often have good IQ but are always slow! #3 a 50mm! This comes out as a 135mm in FF which is a focal length I like a lot. It should be an f2 or maybe an f1.8. You might say just use an adapted 50mm - yes but I want a small and lightweight 50 and not a big and heavy adapted one! #4 tele! Not going to give an exact focal length but something in the 300-500mm FF range. It does need to be fairly fast{f2.8-f4} and could be either a prime or a zoom. A 300mm in FF would be a 112mm on the Nikon 1! Of coarse if they want to make other lenses that these that is fine too. [/QUOTE]
