    I switched to Sony about seven months ago. Yes all my Canon’s lenses work perfectly even my 600mm IS 1 F4. Although I will confess the first Sony lens I purchased was the 200-600mm for motorsports. Razor sharp and 1/3 the weight of the Canon 600mm.

      I've definitely started to like Sony lenses more the more I use them. They don't have the "beefy" feel of many Canons, so it took a while to learn that they're still plenty durable. And the image quality is top notch!

    I love to use the adapters from one brand to be put on another or old lenses to the new mount. But I got an error using the EF to R adapter stating Error 70. I was using the EF-S 10-18mm IS STM lens on the Canon EOS R10 and thought it overheated. No, after researching on the internet with this problem the adapter is at fault. So I experiment on many things, for an example overclocking a computer for better performance, and I was recording in Aperture Priority in the Stills mode not the Movie mode. But after 30 minutes it shut off the recording and gave me that error message. Learning something new everyday and am enjoying it. Stay Safe and Keep Smiling! Cheers!

    Most of my lenses are now native Sony lenses now, but back in the day, I used the MC-11 with almost any EF lens and it worked fine with the exception of eye AF. Plus, the video was never great, but the still pictures were awesome. In fact, I used to do a lot of event photography using the MC-11 on my Sony a7riii with the 24-105 L, and 70-200 L lenses and the pictures came out great. In fact the Tamron 28-75 EF lens produced some wonderful images attached to the MC-11 adapter. I called Sigma last year and the person I spoke to said they were no longer updating MC-11 adapters. Also of interest, I found that the canon ef 50mm 1.8 had a sharper image and less AF problems than the native Sony FE 50mm f/1.8. And I loved using the Canon 40mm 2.8 on the MC-11 adapter (super sharp images). One of the most beautiful combinations was when I used the Canon 135 f/2 lens on the Sony a7riii. Such beautiful portrait images! I still do use a Canon Macro lens on my Sony, but other than that, I use native lenses now with the exception of some older vintage lenses. Another great portrait lens that a lot of folks overlook is the Canon 100 f/2 lens. I've really gotten some wonderful portraits on that lens in the past.

    You can use EF-S lenses with the emount but you just need to mod the MC-11 but removing a few screws. It exposes the inside of the MC-11 but it works flawlessly on a FF camera in crop mode. I love my canon 35mm macro on my a7iii. It's a sharp underrated lens.

    Old vid, but some info. There's there's an adapter, that works with everything. It's the 7Artisan EF-SE AF adapter. around $95
    I have a few Canon EF/EFS lenses. But I mainly use the 55-250mm IS STM lens. It works perfectly on my Sony A600. That includes, CAF, with pic and vid. All face recognition modes work. Also the lens's IS works perfect in pic mode, but it doesn't work with video. That wouldn't be a problem with a camera with IBS. It also has a button, to switch from Contrast Detect AF, to Phase Detect AF, depending on camera. Although the A600 has both CD and PD, the adapter will only work with CD. There are adapters for other camera makers

    Hey Tom! Just wanted to add that you can use FD to E (most manufacturers call them FD to NEX) adapters instead of stacking adapters so you get a more stable connection between camera and lens 😊 avid "vintage lens on mirrorless camera" user here and the 2 pros of adapting are image character (many modern lenses and sensors are made to be optically perfect so these "flawed" lenses bring some life into the images) and fun to use manual focusing (these lenses are made to manual focus so they feel good and have long focus throwes which help a lot in filmmaking imo)
    Hope this helps and I thoroughly enjoyed this video! 😊

    • @walter_fernandez
      @walter_fernandez 2 года назад +1

      ooh! also you don't have to deal with an extra bit of the adapter's glass between the lens and the sensor which can cause all sorts of issues. I promise you the image rendered from it is genuinely beautiful if you have a simple "spacer adapter"

    I got the mc-11 when i switched because my sigma 35 has seen better days and the focus ring is pretty much stuck. Didn't want to sell for peanuts because the af still works fine. Was very happy that my 200 L prime from 1989 works so well on Sony. One of my favorite lenses ever. It's better than it was on my 5diii lol. Super fast af and accurate.

    The one for me is the 7artisan adapter is the best one I have tried on my Sony 7 IV. It also focuses some Canon EF/EF-S Sigma and Tamron Lenses in Movie mode. On top of that, it's cheaper. You don't need to modify your EF-S Lenses. Though with some EF-S Lenses you need to set your camera to crop mode.

    • @Eikenhorst
      @Eikenhorst 2 года назад

      @@gr3if Well, with a full frame lens, you cast an image circle big enough to cover a full frame sensor. But the APSC sensor is smaller, so most of the light falls outside of the sensor area and is lost. This gives a crop, since with a smaller sensor you just only use a small part of the light (essentially equal to using only a small part of the sensor, which is why some full frame cameras have a APSC crop option to generate smaller cropped images). A speedbooster essentially focusses the light to a smaller image circle to prevent most of the light being lost giving nearly an F stop more light and a wider field of view.

    I've been a Canon shooter all my life (until I got into RUclips, that is) and have been using the Commlite EF to EF-M adapter for my M50, I recently got a used a6000 (my Sonys have all been ZV-1s) and have been wondering about using an EF to E adapter. A little disappointed to hear that the Sigma does not AF with Canon lenses though. The Commlite does allow AF with the EF to EF-M adapter. I'll have to look into that. But this video certainly does answer a lot of questions! I've got a ton of EF and FD lenses to play with.

      @@tombuck Canon, when they went to the EF mount, they actually increased the distance from the lens to the film plane. The FD had a much shorter distance hence the need to use optics in the adapter. Now with mirrorless, that distance has been shortened once again, which accounts partly for the increase in image quality, so FD glass can be used in most mirrorless systems via an adapter that does not require an optical element, that degrades the quality of the original optic.

    You can adapt most non digital lenses to mirror less, it doesn’t matter the system. It can be Panasonic, Olympus, Sony, whatever so long as it’s mirroless. Vintage glass is great. Most of the vintage 50mm glass out there has a lot of great benefits over that Sony you say is as good. Build quality and bokeh are much nicer in many cases.

      I could be wrong, but I don't think so. I think EF lenses specifically are easy to adapt whereas native E mount lenses are trickier (I believe it has something to do with the distance between the lens and the sensor or something like that).

      In theory it is impossible. Cause even the bigger mount of Nikon Z was on the edge to make it possible and good for Nikon users there is a good adaptor now. But Canon RF mount is not big enough to take in the whole Sony e-mount as it is needed for the infinity focus due to the shorter flange of the Canon mount.

    Hi there...I just got the Sony FX30 and I have a Sony 18-105mm f 4 which is ok but not for low light...I also own a Sigma 18-35mm f1.8 for Canon which I like for my 90D...I also have several Canon STM lenses...so...I'm thinking I could use this MC-11 adapter but do I understand correctly that my Sigma 18-35mm f 1.8 might work fine with video autofocus but genuine Canon cropped lenses will not not have continuous video autofocus? I know this video is from 4 months ago...I'm tempted as I don't want to buy the Sigma 18-50mm f2.8...are there more than one version of this MC-11 adapter? thanks for your help!

    • @tombuck

      You're totally correct! Your sigma lens will have full autofocus (the 18-35 is such an incredible lens too), but Canon lenses will need manual focus for video.

      @@tombuck hi again...I did a bit more research...and the fine print is what matters...the MC-11 will work fine with Sigma lenses designed for Canon EF but NOT EF-S which is a Canon own design...so the MC-11 will allow me to use the Sigma 18-35mm f1.8 and 50-100mm f1.8 (!!!) because those use the EF mount. Most of my lenses are Canon EF-S with the exception of my Canon 50mm f1.8 STM which has a red dot and has a EF mount-I will lose Autofocus but it will work manually....so...I may still get the MC-11...but which other adapter will allow me to use my Canon EF-S lens on the Sony E mount even if I can only access manual focus for video? One that you recommend? Of course the best option is to just buy Sony lenses...I like those sigma lenses because they are f1.8 even if they are massive!

    That's great! From what i have seen so far adapting the canon lenses on my A7iii body with the mc-11, is that, as you reel the aperture dial you costantly see the maximun aperture of the lens, all the time, the f4 for the 24-105. Another thing is, when you magnification to manual focus lets say, and half press the sutter button, to stabilize the frame, the magnification goes away. None of these two things happens with any sigma lens on mc-11. Sigma lenses auto focus better than the canon lenses too. In exif data also i see the focal length of the lens, but not which lens is for canons. But not for the sigmas.

      From what I know, there isn't a way to adapt EF-M lenses to an EF mount (I could be wrong though, and there might be an adapter out there). If you could get an M lens on an EF adapter, then the EF adapter could go into this Sigma, but I don't know if that's just a pipe dream or not.

    • @tombuck
      @tombuck  7 месяцев назад +1

      Yes, if you have a Sigma lens (then autofocus will work almost as good as a native lens). Otherwise it doesn't seem like adapted lenses would be capable/reliable enough for sports. Tamron and Sigma do make some awesome E mount lenses that might be a great choice too.
      Also, I did try the 7Artisans adapter after some people recommended it in the comments here because it's supposed to enable autofocus on Canon lenses too, but it only focuses when the camera isn't recording and/or outputting HDMI. So avoid that one for sure.

Now I am looking into buying a digital camera and it's not easy to decide between all the camera brands.
