Sigma 12mm F/1.4 APS-C Lens Rumored to Launch Soon

Sigma appears to be gearing up for yet another exciting lens release, adding to what has already been a big year following the successful launches of the 17-40mm f/1.8 ART and the 300-600mm F/4 DG OS super-telephoto. According to fresh reports, the company is preparing to unveil a new 12mm F/1.4 DC DN lens designed for APS-C Sony E-mount cameras.

Sources close to Sony Rumors claim the announcement is coming soon. Interestingly, the 12mm F/1.4 was originally rumored to debut alongside the 17-40mm F/1.8, but its release was reportedly delayed for unspecified reasons. Along with the leak, an image was shared showing the rumored lens mounted on a Sony a6700, giving us an early look at what to expect.

As always, it's worth noting that this information is based on unconfirmed reports. Sigma has not officially commented on the 12mm F/1.4 lens, so readers should treat this as speculation for now. We’ll continue to follow the story and provide updates once official details emerge.
