Faqs:

Can I use my Canon brand EF lenses (not Sigma) with the MC-11?

While Canon brand EF lenses may physically mount, the MC-11 does not guarantee reliable operation (especially AF) with lenses other than those officially listed as compatible Sigma lenses. The adapter is programmed specifically for the Sigma lens protocols.

Does the MC-11 support continuous autofocus (AF-C)?

No, according to the manufacturer’s specifications, AF-C and AF-A (Automatic AF) modes are not supported. The adapter is designed primarily for single-shot autofocus (AF-S) for stills photography. Manual Focus (MF) must be used for video.

Does this adapter work with Sony’s full-frame and APS-C E-mount cameras?

Yes, the converter works with all Sony E-mount bodies, including the alpha 9, alpha 7 (full-frame) series, and the alpha 6000 and NEX (APS-C) series. The performance of the mounted lens will depend on whether it is a full-frame or APS-C design.

Can I use this converter with a teleconverter (extender)?

No, the manufacturer explicitly states that the MC-11 cannot be used in conjunction with a teleconverter (extender).

What happens if I use an unsupported lens and it causes a malfunction?

As stated in the notes, use of unsupported equipment is at your own risk. If any malfunctions or breakdowns occur with the rental items (the converter or the lens), you will be charged for repairs. Always verify compatibility on the official Sigma website.
