JoJu, apparently it exacped you, but kinda at the same time that Sigma announced those cameras, they came up with another product: Sigma MC-11.
They simply could have done the exact same thing to accommodate the DSLR lenses, and offer 1 or 2 mirrorless primes for the cameras. They would already have 3 such primes for the APS-C one (30mm f1.4 DC DN, 19mm f2.8 DN, 60mm f2.8 DN).
But my point was not about why Sigma might have made that choice, my point is that no one is interested much in a mirrorless camera which lacks one of the biggest advantages of going mirrorless (getting rid of the mirrorbox and thereby getting a smaller combination with appropriate lenses).
