Sigma has announced that their mount converter MC-11 is now available in the UK with a suggested retail price of \u00a3219.99. The converter is designed to allow photographers to use Sigma EOS-mount and SA-mount DSLR lenses on Sony E-mount cameras.<\/p>\n
The MC-11 mount converter is aimed at photographers who use different cameras depending on the subject, and amateurs who use a variety of systems, according to Sigma.<\/p>\n
Sigma, which has not released information on compatibility with Canon-made EOS lenses, appears to have achieved a technical milestone.<\/p>\n
In a statement, released at the CP+ show in Japan, the firm said: \u2018Until now, the market has seen the introduction of many methods for using lenses from one camera system with a body from a different system.<\/p>\n
\u2018In the digital age, however, camera systems have become much more complex, and it is challenging to create a mount converter that aligns both the mechanics and software of the lens and body.<\/p>\n
\u2018Creating a converter that matches lenses for current DSLRs to bodies for mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera systems is even more challenging. Now the market demands a converter that goes beyond simply aligning the flange back distance to retaining full functionality.\u2019<\/p>\n
Sigma says the converter incorporates the digital data necessary to deliver a \u2018fast and smooth AF for compatible lenses, as well as OS [Optical Stabilizer] features, and functions of the camera that help control peripheral brightness and correct transverse chromatic aberration, distortion, and more.\u2019<\/p>\n
The company added: \u2018In addition, since Sony E-mount camera bodies do not require mechanical integration with lenses for aperture control, the Mount Converter MC-11 makes Sigma SA-mount interchangeable lenses and Sigma interchangeable lenses for Canon cameras fully compatible with the automatic exposure control of Sony E-mount camera bodies.\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
