Two trusted sources confirmed the following info:

• New Sigma announcement in mid May
• We will get the redesigned 24-70mm f/2.8 II Full Frame lens for Sony E and Leica L
• The new lens is more compact, optically sharper, has better color rendition, improved AF performance than it’s predecessor

I have been told that the reason why Sigma is launching a new version is because they want to be able to compete with the excellent Sony 24-70mm GMII . And they also gave me another interesting tidbit: The Sigma 24-70mm is their most popular lens. Sigma wants to keep it that way!

I am working to get some additional details on the pricing and exact release date. Stay tuned!
