New info about the Sigma 14mm f/1.4 FE lens

A source just sent me this:

Sigma is testing a new Sony FE lens in the field right now, a Sigma 14mm DG DN with a diafragma of f/1.4. It’s a heavy boy of 1.3KG, pretty similar to an 35mm f1.2 . Although it’s a slimmed down version of the 14mm DG HSM it’s still a huge chonker.

While I have no announcement date I guess the lens will be announced sometimes in June. The full specs have been leaked a couple of weeks ago:
