The Sigma MC-11 mount converter enables Sony NEX camera users to attach Sigma's SA- and EF-mount lenses to their camera bodies. The adapter incorporates the digital data necessary to provide fast and smooth AF for compatible lenses as well as image stabilisation 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 Sigma MC-11 makes the lenses fully compatible with the automatic exposure control of Sony E-mount camera bodies. The Sigma Mount Converter MC-11 has an anticipated street price of £179.99. Availability has yet to be confirmed.

Sigma Press Release

MOUNT CONVERTER MC-11

A new device that expands the possibilities of lenses, making them more valuable than ever

• Release date: TBD
• Anticipated Street Price: £179.99
• Corresponding AF mounts: Canon EF-E, SIGMA SA-E

*The appearance and specifications are subject to change without notice.

The new MOUNT CONVERTER MC-11 allows you to use your SIGMA SA mount and SIGMA EOS 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.

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 and SIGMA interchangeable lenses for Canon cameras fully compatible with the automatic exposure control of Sony E-mount camera bodies.

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.

Key features

 

More flexible use of valuable lens assets

With the MOUNT CONVERTER MC-11, users of SIGMA SA mount interchangeable lenses and SIGMA EOS mount interchangeable lenses for Canon camera bodies can use them as is with Sony E-mount camera systems. Users of multiple mounts will enjoy more flexible use of their valuable lens assets.

19 interchangeable SIGMA lenses available for Sony E-mount camera bodies

The MOUNT CONVERTER MC-11 gives Sony E-mount camera body users access to a total of 19 SIGMA interchangeable lenses**. Thanks to compatibility with auto-image area setting functionality, SIGMA DC lenses for APS-C sensors can be used with camera bodies with full-size sensors without the need for any special operation. Compatible SIGMA DC lenses can therefore be freely used with Sony E-mount camera bodies.

**Including three current lenses and one soon to be released for which the mount converter is not necessary
