Bump for this thread.
1. Any news on the Sigma 20/1.8 test on FX?
2. Regarding this post: http://forum.photozone.de/index.php?/topic/2238-next-pz-lens-test-report-slr-magic-hyperprime-lm-cine-50mm-t095/page__view__findpost__p__17964
"I very much like the 24/1.4 on my Nikons, but on the M9 I way too often ran into the MFD limitations of the system with the Summilux lens (very often I would have preferred to get closer than 0.7m to the main subject to get a more dramatic wide angle perspective)."
Glad you are keeping the flame lit for the wide-angle close-up people. It seems to be a real problem with all the otherwise interesting wide-angle mirrorless lenses. Voigtlander's M-12mm, 15mm, NEX 16mm, Panasonic 14mm and Olympus 12mm all have poor MFD. (Not to mention the unobtanium Summilux) 1:10, 1:12 !?! <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/angry.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':angry:' />
It would be nice to see a "Close-Up" test added to the PZ reports, to show a standardized subject at MFD of each lens. <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
