The new Sigma 14mm F1.4 DG DN is an impressive ultra-wide angle fast lens, perfect for astrophotography scenarios but it is quiet large and heavy at the same time. For the Leica L mount, it doesn't have a direct competitor but for the Sony E mount, the popular Sony FE 14mm F1.8 GM has similar optical specs. It is half-stop slower but significantly smaller and lighter than the new Sigma.
Here is a size comparison of these two lenses followed by a specs comparison:
