Sony only allows continuous focus at the "Lo" frame rate with adapted lenses. You are trying to use "Mid." That won't work. The only way around this Sony limitation is for an adapter is to fake a native lens (Yongnuo calls this M for Mixed mode, Metabones Advanced mode, etc).
@@learningcameras Sigma's current Global Vision lenses on the MC-11 also act like native lenses. The drawback of native lens emulation is that SLR lenses aren't designed to handle the contrast detect AF that is a big part of the native Sony Hybrid AF. Younguo has table of lenses that they claim work in the various modes of their adapter.
Sony also doesn't support continuous video AF with adapted lenses. They do support AF-S via the shutter while in video mode, but that seems to have been dropped from the latest cameras when the AF System - Contrast Detect option for adapters was also dropped. These are all Sony limitations.
This is a really valuable comparison/resource, thanks for creating it. That said, it's notable that this is an especially still photography-centric analysis, compared to performance for video shooters (though you do mention it towards the end).
I have the Yongnou adapter and found it works great. The tripod mount is annoying but I get on ok with it. Maybe they updated it since your video as it seems to work fine with my Sigma 70-200 lens. Agree about video the adapter just doesn't autofocus.
I had the mc11 and the nex 4, the nex is faster on af, has all the af modes available since its not tied to a brand, has usb port for future firmware updates and is half the price brand new with warranty than the sigma second hand.
@@rcepter5485 sorry for (very) late reply, youtube does not send notifications. Since last update ( through usb port ) even better. You have to check the AF compatibility list first, before buying, since not all lenses are compatible.
Great video. Did you try any with a tamron lense? I was thinking of getting a full frame dslr (maybe the mark iv), but lately have been thinking that the Sony mirrorless might be a better long term option. I'd love to use my tamron 24-70 g2 and the tamron 90 macro until I can save up for some Sony lenses. Any suggestions?
can you do a review of the viltrox EF-NEX IV Ver. 1.9 / 0.2 on a sony FF / a7III or RIII? ive seen good performance for continuous AF even in video with a sony crop body 6500, wonder how it copes on an a7? useful video, thanks

Hey dan! Need your thoughts: I've been watching so many reviews on the new EOS R5 and the A7siii. I am leaning more toward the a7 since i have a 5d mark lll already and want a high res camera for travel videos and what not; however, I have only canon glass and a sigma lens which is steering me away from the a7. Do you think this is a deal breaker? How good are these adapters with AF? I would eventually get a Sony lens but not for a while. Which camera would you go with? Thanks!
Hey!!! So for video, the adapters are basically worthless with AF. On the photo side, they are good as long as you don't need continuous AF but if you do want continuous AF, even the best adapters don't compete with native lenses. If you are using Sony I would HIGHLY recommend going with native lenses. I'm personally going to end up with the SIII for my video work for 3 reasons, unlimited recording, dual recording for backup, and some overheating limits on the R5. I still might end up with an R5 for photo work but for video, it's great in some areas but weak for others. Have a few more videos on the R5 coming out this week!!!
I'm planning on switching over from a Canon Rebel T6 to a Sony a6100. I will be getting the Sony kit lens that's about 16-50mm for portraits and video, but I am planning on keeping my kit canon zoom lens that's about like 250mm I think. I want to be able to take wildlife photography with my canon lens and my Sony body... Would these adapters be an ok purchase? I do not have the money to buy a telephoto Sony lens because they're dummy expensive and I'm a broke college student! What do you think? Thanks!
Just ordered the Metabones thinking the higher price meant better/acceptable video AF performance and I was super wrong. It’s very unreliable and slow at landing focus, and super loud. No adapter seems reliable at all for video. But the most best-ish bet seems to be the MC-11 (especially with sigma lenses) seems to be the best performing overall in my research so far…
Honestly you probably shouldn't be using adapters with autofocus lenses these days. There are just way too many native lenses that are amazing to warrant using adapters anymore
@@dswatson83 This is true, so I'm picking up some native lenses, but #$$$ tho, and with a previous stock pile of canon lenses, I'd love to use them in the future for specific shots of different lens lengths, as well as photography.

Hello, i hope you still doing great this year. I have question. Lens: Canon EF 17-40 F4 L Camera: Canon 5D mk ii & Sony A7ii Adpater: Viltrox EF Nex IV If i use canon FF sensor lens on canon FF camera and i shot on 17mm fl, the image output will be exactly 17mm wide. When i use canon ff lens on sony ff camera body with the adapter & i do the same shooting on 17mm, would i get same result? I mean i get exactly 17mm wide image, or it will be different like wider or narrower image because there's something called mount conversion factor? I ask this because im new to this adapter, and i want my canon lens work exactly like on my canon ff body.
Hi Dan, i have the mc11 and sometimes the camera frezes and won't work any more. I have either to remove and put back the lens or take the camera battery out to get everything back on work. Do you know anything about this issue? Or any sugestions? I'm kindoff driving crazy on some weddings or solving it having my old 6D hanging on the other side with a double strap. I'll appreciate any help! Thanks a lot. Great videos pal. Greetings from Argentina.
Hey! I have not had that in particular happen with mine but that seems to be typical behavior when an issue happens with lens communication. My Tamron 17-28mm F2.8 would do that on the Sony A7RIV and it was native so no adapter. I would say the solution would be to make sure all lenses and adapters are on the most current firmware because there have been a ton and if that still doesn't work, I'd look to Sigma for an adapter issue. Thanks!!!
Hi Silvio I've had that issue with 2 of my Canon lenses (100mm f2.8 macro, 70-200mm f2.8) adapted with the MC11 on my A7iii. I've never had the issue with my native Sony glass so I think it's an MC11 issue.
So because the adapter moves the lens out, you could notice an issue with extreme wide angles but a 16-35 seems to work just fine and you don't really get any noticeable image quality loss
I don't understand why I have the Canon 70/200 f2.8 IS ll L and it doesn't work near that good with my mc11 on my A7r lll, as it does in your video, and yes I have updated the firmware on the adapter and camera. zoomed past around 135mm it sometimes won't even focus. and I'm just talking about for a stills doing a portrait of a non moving subject, to the point that I would not feel comfortable trying to use it for a portrait shoot on my A7r lll, I checked to see if the Canon lens had any firmware updates but I didn't see any. I still own my 5Dlll, but I am getting to the point where I am asking myself why because it is just sitting on a shelf. along with my other Canon mount glass. but my old Sigma and tamron glass work better than my Canon glass, I also have an issue with my Canon 40 pancake lens. so for me with the mc11 the Canon glass doesn't work as good as the non Canon glass.
Currently have Canon 85 1.4 and 50 1.4 w/ 80D. Was gonna buy an A7ii for $650 and buy the MC-11, mainly cause I don’t wanna spend $1700 for the A73 or wait for the EOS R5 cause it’s gonna be easily at least $3k. What do you guys think? I only care about street and portraits no wedding or sports.
Hey! So just know you will have limited autofocus for photos and no autofocus for video with that setup so you will likely be using manual focus especially for moving subjects. If that is OK with you the A7II is an awesome deal and you can hold on to your lenses. If not, you will definitely need to buy Sony lenses and keep in mind that the A7II autofocus is good but nowhere near as good as the A7III. Is there a reason you feel you need to upgrade the 80D just for street and portraits? with those wide aperture lenses the setup is still really awesome
Hi thank you so much for this very useful information. I have one question I mistakenly bought a lens not compatible with my camera. and its impossible to return it by now. I bought a sigma 18-35mm 1.8 DC for SONY A mount but my camera is Canon EOS 90D which is EF-S Mount--( totally did not fit)--- Could I still find an ADAPTER between my camera Canon 90D and this Sigma lens which Sony A mount? Thank you so much
so no, I don't think you can do that. It is almost impossible to adapt a mirrorless camera lens to a DSLR because of the flange distance. However, Sony just came out with a new A mount adapter to Sony E mount so there are a lot of Sony e mount owners that might actually be interested in it

I have a question My autofocus is so slow in video mode.i use the sigma mc-11 What setting do you recommend
Definitely don't use adapters with video. As I said in this video, continuous autofocus and especially video autofocus is not great with these and on most adapters/lenses, video AF is not possible at all
Great comparison, thanks Dan - appreciate the straight forward delivery. Question re: the Sigma MC-11 - did it work with Canon glass for continuous shooting?
Thanks! So yes it works in continuous shooting but not at the fastest speeds and performance can be a bit hit/miss depending on the lens. It's usually good enough but if a subject is moving straight at you like in sports/wildlife, the autofocus probably won't keep ip
hi Dan I'm considering the mc-11. I shoot soccer i've a sony a6300 and 70-200L F4 would this combination with mc-11 be workable? I know the a6300 has phase detection which helps. Only shooting pics not video btw
For anything fast moving, you should definitely look at a native lens. You will get WAY better AF performance. There are some massive deals on Sony lenses right now that I just posted so check them out! facebook.com/learningcameras/posts/2672815329636661
Don't get viltrox nex IV. My 24-70 l canon lens can't focus if attach to a6000. I read that the A6000 have problems with adapter stuff since it quiet weak.
So, just to recap, if I get the Sigma MC-11 adapter, I will be able to use my Sigma 18-35mm f1.8 Canon EF lens on, say, a Sony a6500 with no autofocus penalty? Right now, I use it with a Viltrox speedbooster on my Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II, and it autofocuses quite well.
Hey! So yes, you can use that lens on the a6500 but there is technically an AF penalty but it will still function with Eye AF just not at the same speed and accuracy of a native lens with continuous AF. Also, AF doesn't really work in video with the adapters
@@danieldougan269 I'd say minimal for point to point but if you are using continuous AF with an object moving towards you quickly, the difference is closer to moderate vs a native lens without an adapter
@@learningcameras Thanks! Hopefully one day, we will be able to just trade lenses around with all the brands one day as if they were native. We're getting closer!
Hi Dan, I have alot of EF lenses, 55-250MM EFS, 100MM EF , 50MM EF, 300MM EF, also I have Sigma 150-500MM EF mount which adapter will work, because the Commlite EF-NEX is not working with Sigma or my EFS lenses 55-250MM. Which one works best with these lenses. I have the Sony A6500 - MC-11 - Fotodiox Adapter - Viltrox EF-E5
@@learningcameras Thank you so much, been fustrated with the Sony camera, on my Olympus EM10 and Panasonic G7 all lenses work perfectly.. Sony is a hassle.
Please could anyone help me I'm looking for an adapter to use sigma 18-35mm f1.8 nikon fit that I want to use on Canon 80d but the thing is I want to have the capability to use the auto focus and also the usual face tracking mode and other types of tracking that the 80D has. I'm not sure if this adapter or other will give me that capability. Question about the chip if the adapter has it. The camera will recognise the lens while having the adapter already mounted, will the chip also allow the auto focus to be used?
Really? There are so many 3rd party options that are way cheaper. I find Canon RF to be the most expensive and with no 3rd party options, it's even worse!
Don't buy one lol. Use native Sony E mount lenses, there are so many available and you will have full autofocus so there is absolutely no reason to be using other lens mounts in 2023 unless you are using manual cinema lenses or manual vintage lenses
So technically all these will work with that camera but autofocus will be limited. Only the newer cameras will allow "phase detection" autofocus which is what you need for fast AF
Who wants an adapter??? Like & comment and I'll hit one of you up when I get back from Iceland and I'll send you mine!!!

Hi bro, what about AFC in video with the MC11? They are saying that in the last firmware update AFC doesn't work in video mode with canon ef lenses
Hey, to my knowledge AFC has never worked in video mode on any of the adapters
Great comparison, thanks Dan - appreciate the straight forward delivery. Question re: the Sigma MC-11 - did it work with Canon glass for continuous shooting?
Thanks! So yes it works in continuous shooting but not at the fastest speeds and performance can be a bit hit/miss depending on the lens. It's usually good enough but if a subject is moving straight at you like in sports/wildlife, the autofocus probably won't keep ip
hi Dan I'm considering the mc-11. I shoot soccer i've a sony a6300 and 70-200L F4 would this combination with mc-11 be workable? I know the a6300 has phase detection which helps. Only shooting pics not video btw
For anything fast moving, you should definitely look at a native lens. You will get WAY better AF performance. There are some massive deals on Sony lenses right now that I just posted so check them out! facebook.com/learningcameras/posts/2672815329636661
So I have a Sony A6000 but I want to use my cousins canon lens it’s a tse 45mm which one do I get. Thanks
Don't get viltrox nex IV. My 24-70 l canon lens can't focus if attach to a6000. I read that the A6000 have problems with adapter stuff since it quiet weak.
I heard that the Sigma MC 11 will not do eye AF with canon lenses. Is that true?
You can do Eye AF but it doesn't handle moving subjects well and that usually goes hand in hand
So, just to recap, if I get the Sigma MC-11 adapter, I will be able to use my Sigma 18-35mm f1.8 Canon EF lens on, say, a Sony a6500 with no autofocus penalty? Right now, I use it with a Viltrox speedbooster on my Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II, and it autofocuses quite well.
Hey! So yes, you can use that lens on the a6500 but there is technically an AF penalty but it will still function with Eye AF just not at the same speed and accuracy of a native lens with continuous AF. Also, AF doesn't really work in video with the adapters
@@learningcameras Would it be fair to say "a minimal autofocus penalty?"
@@danieldougan269 I'd say minimal for point to point but if you are using continuous AF with an object moving towards you quickly, the difference is closer to moderate vs a native lens without an adapter
@@learningcameras Thanks! Hopefully one day, we will be able to just trade lenses around with all the brands one day as if they were native. We're getting closer!
I have a Sony A65, do you know if there are any adapter from canon lenses to alpha mount?
No, I don't believe there are for the alpha mount. Might be time to try checking out a Sony A6400 or something along those lines!
I have liked commented and turned on post notifications. I really want that adapter
Hahahaha, well that's absolutely upping your chances :)
Like for joggling. Never managed to master it lol. ;)
Does the aperture control work?
Hi Dan, I have alot of EF lenses, 55-250MM EFS, 100MM EF , 50MM EF, 300MM EF, also I have Sigma 150-500MM EF mount
which adapter will work, because the Commlite EF-NEX is not working with Sigma or my EFS lenses 55-250MM. Which one
works best with these lenses. I have the Sony A6500
- MC-11
- Fotodiox Adapter
- Viltrox EF-E5
Hey, I'd go for the mc11
@@learningcameras Thank you so much, been fustrated with the Sony camera, on my Olympus EM10 and Panasonic G7 all lenses work perfectly.. Sony is a hassle.
Please could anyone help me I'm looking for an adapter to use sigma 18-35mm f1.8 nikon fit that I want to use on Canon 80d but the thing is I want to have the capability to use the auto focus and also the usual face tracking mode and other types of tracking that the 80D has. I'm not sure if this adapter or other will give me that capability.
Question about the chip if the adapter has it. The camera will recognise the lens while having the adapter already mounted, will the chip also allow the auto focus to be used?
So you cannot use the Nikon version on the Canon 80D. But this version of the lens will work just fine on the 80D: bhpho.to/3H2CR8Q
@@learningcameras thanks for the reply, why is this lense cheaper for nikon than canon? Have no idea but thank you also for sharing resources
Hi Dan! I'll get a sony a7c and I have some Canon EF lenses... which adapter do you recommend? (mainly photography)
Hey! So do know focusing will mostly only work in single point. Continuous AF tracking will be spotty at best. This one is my favorite amzn.to/3jqRyJD
@@learningcameras thanks man! Really helpful
Hi! Have you tried the yongnuo with canon ef-s lenses like canon ef-s 28mm 2.8?
Have you?
Hi Dan,
Just got my 1st Sony A72, I want adapter please, thank you. Have fun and be safe on your trip.
As a hobbyist I regret buying a Sony camera, the lens prices are redicuous compared to Nikon and canon
Really? There are so many 3rd party options that are way cheaper. I find Canon RF to be the most expensive and with no 3rd party options, it's even worse!
Dan do you think the A7II is still worth getting, or is it just too old? I have a Canon 5diii and want to get into Sony cameras.
Definitely do the A7iii if you are upgrading from that canon
A7II is worth getting in 2021
I just bought a6600...Which AF adapter suits for me for Canon lens?
This would be the best: bhpho.to/2AVHoIi
Thank you
looking now in 2023 what adpapter would you say now
Don't buy one lol. Use native Sony E mount lenses, there are so many available and you will have full autofocus so there is absolutely no reason to be using other lens mounts in 2023 unless you are using manual cinema lenses or manual vintage lenses
@@learningcameras Thank you very much man , keep up the good work
If I want an adapter of E Lens to EF mount, what I have to do?
Can't. Because mirrorless lenses sit closer to the sensor you can't adapt a mirrorless lens to a dslr
Have you tried Micnova KK-ENC99 PRO ?
How much and where
Hi. Fotodiox adapter for canon lens to sony a7 iii work?
What adapter you have
What ef-efs lens mount will work with a sony A5100 camera? Thank
So technically all these will work with that camera but autofocus will be limited. Only the newer cameras will allow "phase detection" autofocus which is what you need for fast AF
ok so i can attach this to my camera and use my canon ef or efs lens?
@@bulcub Yep
any good for video?
and auto focus
Nope, no AF in video
This video is informative but also giving me a seizure.
NC-11? Why don't they just call it Sigma MC-11 wannabe?
The brand name pronunciation should be `yung nor`
Sir, I am from India, Sir, I want to get some information from you that in about how much the camera will come, what will be the best price.
> not a lot of reason to get an adapter now
> nfw Sony 24-70 2.8 is 2500 dollars
