Rumor correction: This is the REAL leaked image of the Sigma 50mm f/1.2 lens
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)
