Sigma MC-11 SA-E Lens Mount Converter-Black

The new MOUNT CONVERTER MC-11 allows you to use your SIGMA SA mount interchangeable lenses with the Sony E-mount camera body.Until now, the market has seen the introduction of many methods for using lenses from one camera system with a body from a different system. In 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. Creating 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. The MOUNT CONVERTER MC-11 is ideal for professional photographers who use different camera systems depending on the subject, as well as amateur photographers who enjoy using a variety of camera systems. Increasing the compatibility of lenses with different camera systems makes these assets more valuable than ever. In addition, users of Sony E-mount camera bodies will enjoy an immediate increase in the number of lenses available to them. The MOUNT CONVERTER MC-11 incorporates the digital data necessary to provide fast and smooth AF for compatible lenses as well as OS features and functions of the camera that help control peripheral brightness and correct transverse chromatic aberration, distortion, and more. In 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 fully compatible with the automatic exposure control of Sony E-mount camera bodies. Thanks to compatibility with auto-image area setting functionality, SIGMA DC lenses for APS-C sensors can be used with camera bodies with full-frame sensors without the need for any special operation. Fast and smooth autofocus performanceWhen used with a camera body that is compatible with Fast Hybrid AF, AF-S mode delivers extremely fast and smooth autofocus performance. With other camera bodies, contrast detection AF offers very high-precision autofocusing. Easy to use interfaceThe LED display on the MOUNT CONVERTER MC-11 makes it easy to know whether an attached lens is compatible or not and whether the mount converter control data or lens firmware needs to be updated for operation with that lens. When attaching a lens to the MC-11, if the LED is green, the lens is compatible. If the LED flashes green, the lens firmware needs to be updated using the SIGMA USB DOCK (sold separately). If the LED flashes orange, the MC-11 requires an update via its own USB port to retrieve new lens data. If the LED does not light up, the lens is not compatible and will not function correctly. MOUNT CONVERTER MC-11 incorporates the data necessary for each compatible lens and uses a dedicated control program to optimise AF drive, aperture control, and other functions. It is compatible with functions of the camera that maintain peripheral brightness and correct transverse chromatic aberration, distortion, and more. As new compatible lenses are released, control data for MOUNT CONVERTER MC-11 can be updated via a personal computer. Other featuresCompatible with optical stabilisation features of both lens and camera bodyThe compatibility of MOUNT CONVERTER MC-11 with the OS features of both the lens and the camera body makes possible superior correction of camera shake and other stability issues. When used with a camera body that features an OS function, MOUNT CONVERTER MC-11 allows angle shake correction in the lens for superior corrective performance. Flocking inside barrel helps prevent internal reflections MOUNT CONVERTER MC-11 features flocking in its interior to help prevent internal reflections and a reduction in lens performance. Compatibility with Exif dataLens type, focal length, F number, and other tags are embedded as Exif data in the image file.
