Sorry for the confusion guys. But a trusted source told me the previously “leaked” image was fake. He was fooled too because indeed the new Sigma 50mm f/1.2 looks nearly exactly like the current Sigma 50mm f/1.4. He shared an image of the real lens (see the small “crop” image above). It has the same 72mm filter size like the f/1.4.

Sigma 50mm f/1.2 lens specs:

• 38g lighter and more compact than the Sony 50mm f/1.2 GM (Sigma weights 740g and the Sony 778g)
• The size and chassis is about the same of that of the Sigma 50mm f/1.4.
• 72mm filter size
• The lens aperture has 13 blades (50mm f1.2 GM got 11 only)
• More affordable than the Sony
• Comes for Sony E and Leica L
• Announcement on March 26 at 21 Tokyo time (that’s 13:00 in Berlin and 8:0 New York time)

A source just some more info about the next lens that will be announced by Sigma within the next few weeks:

• It’s a portrait prime lens
• it’s f/1.2
• autofocus
• lighter and more compact than any autofocus lens from the competition!
• price below the Sony 50mm f/1.2 GM, and below the Canon 85 and Nikon 85 competition
• Coming for both Sony E and Leica L mount cameras

What do you think about this lens? This could be winner lens if it’s indeed that small…

I got a rumor tonight that I hope I can confirm soon. It says:

• A7sIII firmware coming “soon” (SAR note: I suppose A1 firmware coming at th same time)
• New A7sIII firmware 3.00 will have Timecode (external like fx3 with dongle) and Shutter angle for the A7S III
• Youtubers are already reviewing the new firmware and “may have video review ready the same day Sony release the new Firmware.”

Let’s hope the long wait will be over soon!
