I tried google searching and found quite a bit of info on swapping ef to sa so I am guessing this is fairly easy but does anyone know for sure?
I am curious if you can actually make an SA lens work on our cameras

You CAN however, do some mount conversion. If you're really bold, you can even hook the electrical connections up, as the Sigma SA contacts are the same electrical connections and instructions as the EF contacts. Some guy converted his Sigma SD-14 to EF mount (after quite a bit of work to change the mount), and it fully works...including autofocus and auto aperture. Jordan Steele - http://www.jordansteele.com
