The Sigma MC-11 lens compatibility list

Share

SigmaMC11

Sigma’s new MC-11 adapter cost $249 and will ship in April according to BHphoto (preorder here).It costs $150 less than the Metabones and I hope it works as good or maybe even better than the Metabones. Afterall Sigma has a long history of making their AF lenses work on Canon cameras.

This is the description of the new adapter:

The Sigma MC-11 Mount Adapter enables the use of Canon EF-mount lenses on Sony E-mount mirrorless camera bodies, and maintains full lens performance, including autofocus and auto-exposure, as well as in-camera correction technologies. An integrated LED can be used to display select Sigma lens compatibility with the adapted camera body, and the adapter also supports in-camera image stabilization. In order to maintain a high degree of image quality, the interior of the adapter is flocked to reduce reflections, and it also retains full EXIF data to benefit post-production and file management.

This is the compatibility list for Sigma lenses:

Also Canon lenses will work with the new adapter. This means
