Looking for opinions on best lens adapter


Recommended Posts

Sigma MC-11  for Canon eos mount Smaller lighter and half the cost of the Metabones IV plus it works with more of the Canon lenses including the original film eos lenses. Plus it gives all native function on the Sigma ART series lenses. If you are talking about using Canon FD mount manual lenses RayQual Vogtlander adapter it works and is well made.

I have to agree that the Sigma MC-11 is pretty impressive when using Canon glass on the Sony AII.  I have used 50mm, 85mm, 35Lmm, 24-105mm, 100-400mm and the auto focus works. I have even put a 1.4X multiplier and in some cases Extension rings and was able to get good pictures. In all cases the manual focus has zero issues.  I just wish Sigma would publish tests on the Canon glass but they obviously want to sell Sigma glass.

I have both the Sigma MC-11, and the Comlite Adaptor on a A6000.

 

First of all the MC-11 canot be used for EF-S lenses, because the rear of the lenses extends further, the Comlite will conect both EF and EF-S lenses.

I cannot obtain a focus using the MC-11 adaptor with the folllowing Canon FE prime lenses. 24mm f2.8, 50mm f1.8 (first edition), 100mm f2.8 macro L. I could focus with the 300mm f4 L lens.

With zoom lenses the 70-200mm f4 L focussed, as did the 100-300mm f4.5-5.6. the  35-135mm f 3.5-4.5 would focus at 35mm but not at 135mm.

Of my Sigma lenses the 10-20mm 4-5.6 DC HSM focussed (this was the fastest focussing of all my lenses)., the 170m-500mm f5.6-6.3 would focus at 170mm but not 500mm.

 

With the Comlite adaptor all my lenses including the EF-S lenses would focus, except for the Sigma170-500mm which would not focus at all. Depending upon the light there could be a lot of hunting before the correct focus was obtained.

 

With the ease of using the manual focussing system of the Sony A6000, this is probably the best option, though some of the newer lenses listed by Sigma, could  focus rapidly.
