Sigma DN 35S963 60mm

★★★★☆ 4.1 (753)

The 60mm f/2.8 prime delivers a 120mm-equivalent telephoto reach on Micro Four Thirds with a bright constant aperture and a 50cm close-focusing distance, all in a 190g body. Its silent linear AF motor and choice of silver or black finish suit discreet shooting and style, while the Art-series optics maintain sharpness edge to edge. Best for street photographers who want a lightweight, unobtrusive lens for tight candid portraits and detail shots.
