Here is a quote from someone who said Sigma will not making lenses for M43.
Now he said he saw potential in the M43 GM and Pen Series.
So it could only meant that Sigma is not making for M43 not because he saw no market potential but could not identify any unique lenses it can provide.
Anyway, Sigma did make the 150-600 for OMDS, which is currently the 2nd best super tele for birding.
Also note that he said the younger generation don't care if the sensor is big or small.
Yamaki, CEO of Sigma: "The younger generation bought compact fixed-lens cameras that don’t cost TOO much: cameras like the Ricoh GR, old digital cameras and so on. They don’t care if the sensor is small or big, if it has a 5 or 7-stop IBIS… they care that the cameras are fun, affordable and easy to use. I do believe cameras like the PEN-FII and the Lumix GM/GF series should be developed further and made so that they are easy and fun to use for the new generation of photographers"
