Sigma MC-11 Canon EF-E Lens Mount Converter, Black

Product Information

Ich habe vorher die zweite Genration des Commlite Adapters genutzt an dem man den Autofokus quasi so gut wie vergessen konnte. Mal ging er und mal nicht, mal draußen mal drinnen egal wie das Licht war, er verhielt sich dann doch immer sehr launisch und sporadisch. So, that's the innocent explanation of why the MC-11 does not have such good support for Canon EF lenses, It has become compatible with the SIGMA 150-600mm F5-6.3 DG OS HSM | Contemporary (Firmware Ver.2.00) and SIGMA 150-600mm F5-6.3 DG OS HSM | Sports (Firmware Ver.2.00). After using the MC-11 converter there is no doubt that the folks at Sigma have managed to produce a solid piece of gear that can open up a entire new spectrum of lenses to those who use Sony mirrorless cameras. The converter is built like a tank, looks great, and falls onto a happy middle ground between higher priced mount converters. What’s better is that with the addition of the USB port the converter can grow with technology giving it staying power in the photo gear world. Come the L-Mount Sigma provides the MC-21 electronic adapter which seem to work quite well with most Sigma EF mount lenses but is not particularly compatible with Canon EF mount lenses.

The Sigma MC-11 is a mount converter that attaches to Sony E-mount cameras (full-frame and APS-C format) to enable Canon EF-mount lenses to be used. Sigma also makes the MC-11 with the Sigma SA-mount to enable Sigma SA lenses to be used on Sony cameras. Follow this link to view the compatible lens list. KANAGAWA, JAPAN — February 23, 2016 – Sigma Corporation of America, a leading DSLR lens, camera, flash and accessories manufacturer, today announced the release of its new high-performance Sigma Global Vision lens converter – the Mount Converter MC 11 – for Sony E-mount, full frame and APS-C sensor cameras. With the new MC-11, Sony camera users will be able to utilize 19 Global Vision lenses in Sigma Canon Mount (EOS) and Sigma Mount (SA).There are no optics inside the MC-11, it’s designed to extend the flange depth so the Canon lens is the correct distance from the sensor – it extends the optical arrangement by 2.5cm. It also conveys the data that’s required to enable exposure control and autofocusing. This means that the MC-11 should enable the same image quality that you expect from your lenses, but bare in mind that the different sensor will have an impact. Performance The new MOUNT CONVERTER MC-11 allows you to use your SIGMA SA-mount and SIGMA EOS-mount interchangeable lenses with the Sony E-mount camera body. Some older Tamron lenses apparently don't work on it at all. I guess those are victims of incompatible reverse engineering of EF protocols relative to what Sigma has done. I have not found any Canon lenses that didn't work on it, but I haven't tried that many. I do have a Tamron 24-70/2.8 G1, and that works fine on the MC-11.

Before updating SIGMA MOUNT CONVERTER MC-11 firmware, please ensure you update SIGMA Optimization Pro to the latest version. Fixed a problem in which the AF would not work in rare cases when the focus ring was turned during video recording in AF mode with a lens which has the MF switching function (manual override) enabled. [How to update] Sigma should be capable of doing better - after all it has been reverse engineering all the Canon EF lens protocols since Adam was a boy. It would seem - “going-L with your EF lenses?” - “go Fotodiox Fusion”. Not only will most of your Canon EF lenses be compatible but all the Sigma EF mount lenses that the MC-21 handles will also work just as well on your Fusion.

Before Updating
