Use Canon Lenses with Sony Cameras…Kinda

The Sigma MC-11 adapter lets you connect Canon EF lenses to Sony's E Mount system. Sigma lenses have the ability to use autofocus in Video Mode, but Canon lenses don't (they work, but you have to manually focus them).

But in Photo Mode ALL lenses have continuous autofocus...so to me this means that there's no reason it shouldn't also work in Video Mode with Canon lenses. I Canon't believe it.

Was the alternate title for this video "Tom sees how long he can go without making a pun"? Thanks for the great videos.

Tom you should try viltrox eF-NEX IV and try to fing the test version firmware tried with 16-35mm L mark I work really really great

[MichaelBouhnikProductions]

Meike just made a drop in adapter with vnd for ef lenses on sony cameras, apparently it should work great with autofocus in video... when i see reviews, if it is good, i will switch from my R6 to the fx3... mainly for the dynamic range...

NO YOU DIDN'T!!!
You didn't just make a dad joke!

😆😆😆😤😂😂😂

It’s a kicker for those canon people trying to move over to Sony. A lot canonot afford to replace all their lense and buy a new body.

[jasonfriedman]

Canon believe that you got a subscriber for that clever twist of words there

[FILMTOPIA]

I Canon't believe that it was on sale on BH the other day and I didn't get it for my Sony A7siii to put on my ef sigma 18-35 F1.8 *Sigh* 😪

[JovinBonifacioMaghirang]

What canon sigma lens version can be use for video AF? Is it ok to use older version? 😅

[PhillipRPeck]

Still works better than the Metabones adapter!

[GaiaChrono]

Does this allow for IBIS + Lens IS to work in photo mode? I have tried it with the metabones adapter, but it does not play nice and I can only get one or the other

[piyushgadkari]

Hi, possibly a dumb Question, but better to get it cleared before investing into Sony.

So I am long time canon user, 12 years, so I have a decent number of canon lenses and 3 Samyang(Rokinon) lenses.

Samyang lenses are manual focus so no issue, but is there absolutely no way that I can get canon lenses to autofocus in video mode ?

[eduardovisuals]

i could’ve sworn it use to work back them, . wonder if the recently patched it.

[hariharanvijayasarathy]

Wait so we can have autofocus for photo mode right in this case?

[PhotographyByRune]

Or you can use the 7Artisans adapter that cost half of what the MC11 is, instead and get autofocus both when filming and taking still photo's....

[stmsaiya]

That works for me. I don't shoot video only stills and landscapes

[JorgeLG]

Great my friend… I actually have the sigma 16mm lens for Canon and I want to use it on my Sony camera. I hope it works for me.

[Atsolok]

Use the 7artisans EF-SE Lens. This will keep autofocus on all canon and sigma lenses

[djule]

I canont believe also, but it is sonyt.
