"Sigma 14mm f/1.8 DG HSM Art (full frame lens)"
If this comes true... and it's not too heavy or pricey... I will have a serious look at it. Art-quality, 600g (at most hopefully) and about ~900€, that'd seem like a good deal for me.
This one would be even better for astrophotography than the Sigma 20mm f/1.4 Art...

I was thinking the same. A question for someone more educated then I, is it possible to make a lens like this internal zooming?

Rokinon 14 2.8 - 550g
Canon and Nikon 14 2.8 - 650g
Rokinon sp 14 2.4 - 800g
I'd bet it comes in over 1kg if it's real

Or if it's considerably cheaper. A $600 100-400mm?? If it's any decent optically it could sell like hotcakes.

The current 150-600mm C is excellent at 400mm (mine is similar to my good copy of the 100-400mm II). An f/6.3 100-400mm would be much lighter than a f/5.6 - see the Panasonic Leica 100-400. I'd get one for a light weight travel zoom or for my wife. It would also go nicely with the M series.

A 14mm 1.8 certainly has me interested. But it ultimately depends on the coma. Sadly, the Sigma 20mm didn't perform well in that area.

Sigma 135mm f/1.8 DG HSM Art (has been rumored for a while) << Instant pre-order from me.
Sigma 14mm f/1.8 DG HSM Art (full frame lens) << Instant pre-order from me. great for low light in crowd shots, etc.
Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 DG OS HSM Art (also previously rumored) << Instant pre-order from me
Sigma 100-400mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM Contemporary << non Art quality, no weather sealing, a lighter lens. good value. Not my cup of tea..
P.S. I reckon Sigma skipped 70-200 2.8 Sports announcement as they knew fully well that Tamron is going to announce 70-200 2.8 G2. the Sigma 70-200 2.8 Sports will likely be announced in a few months from now anyway.

The articles got pulled? The links are still there on the front page but don't lead anywhere.

Possible as the articles were already unavailable at the time I have discovered the links. News are dated 17 of Feb as well. Orchestrated leak or webmaster stuff up ? I checked the Sigma Global website and there was no official announcement available at the time.

Yeah, so CP+ is from 23 to 26 Feb so we probably shouldn't expect an official announcement before the end of the week.

Hard to say, but my gut feeling is that this was an orchestrated leak, attention seeking exercise. Smart marketing if you asked me. They waited until Canon and Tamron used all their ammo and released a slew of nice lenses in the wild.
Saturday night in USA, Sunday night in APAC. Keyboard warriors getting all worked up and spread the news.
Then, Monday morning announcement with tech details and samples available the same day or the day after.
