I just updated my Sigma 45mm to vers.1.3 & noticed that as of 25 March21 there are several FW updates available for a number of Sigma lenses. These include the 24mm f3.5, 65mm f2, the 105mm f2.8 Macro as well as the 100-400mm f5.6/6.3.

I did the 35 and 45 and the focus is a little quicker on them.

thanks for the pointer, but for the 65mm, it says "It has improved the AF accuracy when it is used with the SIGMA fp L" but I have the SL, so will give it a miss, but @jdlaing do you see an improvement with the S1R?

I believe so. It’s not glaring but noticeable.

I have an SL2 and a 105 2.8 macro as well as a 24-70 f2.8 how do I update the firmware on them?

Once you've downloaded the lens FW update onto a formatted SD card, insert into the SL2 with the Sigma lens mounted.

Then follow these steps on the camera & press:  Main Menu > pg.5 > Camera Information > Lens Firmware Version > Start Update...

You're able to update Sigma lenses on the SL2 by following the above procedure.

I assume this also works for Panasonic lenses.

However as far as updating Leica SL lenses, you can only do the update on an SL camera body.

Sorry that did not work for me. I have tied it with both lenses. There was a brief flash on the LCD and then it went blank.

Thank you. It worked after a few attempts.
