well it is "compatible" but to be compatible sigma needs to release firmware update for the lens, so far they haven't

so far only following lenses received updates to make them compatible

18-35mm F1.8 DC HSM A013
24-35mm F2 DG HSM A015
30mm F1.4 DC HSM A013
20mm F1.4 DG HSM A015
24mm F1.4 DG HSM A015
50mm F1.4 DG HSM A014

and following are still waiting for firmwares.

17-70mm F2.8-4 DC MACRO OS HSM C013
18-200mm F3.5-6.3 DC MACRO OS HSM C014
24-105mm F4 DG OS HSM A013
35mm F1.4 DG HSM A012
120-300mm F2.8 DG OS HSM S013
150-600mm F5-6.3 DG OS HSM S014
150-600mm F5-6.3 DG OS HSM C015

according to http://www.sigma-global.com/download/en​/information.html (external link)



So..... I got my Sigma MC-11 adapter today....

So far a complete waste of money....

Neither my 35mm or 150-600 S is completely supported....

The LED on the side is green, saying its "compatible"
But the performance is pathetic, almost as bad as Metabones back in the day with A7R (or A7)
Hunt, hunt, lets hunt so more.

Quick review/points

Only contrast AF
SLOW!
No Phase, whatsoever
AF-S works
AF-C "works" but it takes a while to get AF, and then it looses AF, and tries again
DMF works
AF in video works
NO-LOCK ON AF, can't select it.


SO as of today, these lenses have not received firmware updates to support MC-11
17-70mm F2.8-4 DC MACRO OS HSM C013
18-200mm F3.5-6.3 DC MACRO OS HSM C014
24-105mm F4 DG OS HSM A013
35mm F1.4 DG HSM A012 (CANON MOUNT)
120-300mm F2.8 DG OS HSM S013
150-600mm F5-6.3 DG OS HSM S014
150-600mm F5-6.3 DG OS HSM C015


These lenses have been upgraded
18-35mm F1.8 DC HSM A013
24-35mm F2 DG HSM A015
30mm F1.4 DC HSM A013
20mm F1.4 DG HSM A015
24mm F1.4 DG HSM A015
35mm F1.4 DG HSM A012 (SIGMA MOUNT)
50mm F1.4 DG HSM A014


If you have a lens in the Red field, DO NOT BUY MC-11 yet....

how did you get the adapter so fast, any chance of testing the 135L on the adapter? I'de be happy if it could perform as well as the MBIV, then I can get rid of it.

No problem, just return it...they even pay the shipping. No reason to buy and keep a useless item.

double checked all firmwares again, and 35 1.4 and 150-600 on the Sigma adapter work much slower then metabones, really reminds me a7R with old metabones.

I can't believe how well the SR app works on skies. No need for ND filters with my Loxia 21.

This is the historic Pearl Brewery which just keeps expanding.

SR app? you mean Sky-HDR app? Just making sure there's not an app I don't know about.
If yes, then yes the Sky-HDR negates the need for ND filters but still no reverse grads...maybe in an upgrade or
maybe applying Sky-HDR in a way I haven't discovered yet.

It's the Smooth Reflections app. I have not tried the Sky HDR app. The Smooth Reflections app simulates long exposure by taking 64 to 256 shots and combines them in the camera. Only negative I can think of is wear and tear on the shutter.
