Sigma MC-11 adapter and Canon Mount Lenses

[tinplater]

Sigma is making a series of very high quality lenses in Sigma, Canon, and Nikon mounts...but not Sony. They also make an adapter, the MC-11 that will allow full function of THEIR Canon mount lenses on a Sony E mount body. Apparently some lenses, made by Canon for their cameras, can be adapted to fit on the Sony E mount using the Sigma adapter. However Sigma states their adapter is for Sigma Canon mount lenses only. My question.. has anyone here coupled Canon manufactured lenses on an A7rII using the MC-11 adapter and if so how well did it work?

I have the Sigma MC11 Adapter and a series of canon lenses that I use on my A7rII.

I have had no issues with fast focus on these lenses through the adapter

    Canon 70-200 F2.8 L IS

    Canon 50mm Kit

    Canon 24-105 f4 L IS

    Sigma 50 f1.4

    Sigma 150-500 

 

I recently did a test of a Sony 50mm f1.4 Vs the Sigma with the adapter.

I could not tell the difference in the quality of the images, the focusing was the same speed and accuracy AND they both hunted and could not get focus in poor light situations.

 

My mate has an A7r and a Metabones adapter and he is not happy with the slow autofocus, we tried the MC11 adapter on this to see if it resolved his slow focus issues and it did NOT !

Big autofocus performance difference with A7RII vs A7R . . .
