One of our readers (thanks B.) found the new Sigma 85mm f/1.4 lens on the Sigma Russia website. The news is that the lens will be available by end of June.
Google translation from the russian text:
“Available for pre order for sale will be the end of June … Available for pre order for sale will be the end of June …”

In what sense is this a leak? http://www.dpreview.com/news/1002/10022015sigma85mm.asp
Isn’t that old news? The lens was announced at PMA: http://www.sigma-imaging-uk.com/quicklinks/pma/85mm.htm
Corrected! Our mistake 🙁
This is Belarus, not Russia 😉

That link does not specify when the lens will be available. Here, this site, says it will be out by the end of June. 😛
Same information on the French Sigma website since March: “Disponibilité prévue en juin”.

The main topic of this news is that it will be out by the end of June and the price is $885 in Belarus.
Priceless! UK price will be interesting.
I was holding one these at the UK Focus On Imaging trade show a couple of months ago 🙂
Looks very similar to the Sigma 50/1.4 HSM, but obviously scaled up. Nice looking bit of glass.
June come and gone, and I can’t find this for sale anywhere. Any updates?
