Sigma MC-21 Sigma EF Lenses to L-Mount Reviews

Sigma MC-21 Mount Converter

The Sigma MC-21 is an outstanding tool for photographers and videographers transitioning to L- mount cameras, especially if you have an existing collection of Sigma EF mount lenses. It offers excellent image quality, and cost savings while maintaining a high level of functionality.

Was hoping for better performance

I also use the MC-11 on my Sony A7RIII and it works well enough for event photography on my first edition Canon 70-200/2.8. This does not work so well on my Leica SL2-S with any of my Canon EF lenses, granted all of my lenses are fairly old, the 17-40/4 works the best with the 70-200 being really hit or miss with autofocus, it is faster to manual focus, and more accurate. The EF 35-350 also isn't likely all that well focused when it indicates it has locked focus. I use manual focus a lot of the time anyways so it at least lets me use lenses I wouldn't otherwise be able to.

Does this have the USB port for updating lens firmware (like the same-priced MC-11)?
Asked by: jacob
This adapter does not have a USB port for firmware updates. The firmware is updated while it is attached to the camera or to the Sigma USB dock SIUSBDL, https://bhpho.to/3hzUXFz.

Is this adapter rock solid? I want a solution for my Leica R's to work with follow focus without play
Asked by: Eduardo
The Sigma MC-21 Mount Converter/Lens Adapter (Sigma EF-Mount Lenses to L-Mount Camera) is rock solid with minimal play. Leica R has a different mount than Leica L though, so this adapter won't work on Leica R.

Will the fact that autofocus only working in AF-S mode negate the use of Phase Detection Auto Focus on S52x?
Asked by: Gary
The Sigma MC-21 Mount Converter/Lens Adapter (Sigma EF-Mount Lenses to L-Mount Camera) would work with phase detection auto focus on the Panasonic Lumix S5 IIX Mirrorless Camera. Phase Detection is not specifically linked to continuous auto focus, and will work in single auto focus as well.
