What happened if i mount it to full frame Sigma ...

What happened if i mount it to full frame Sigma FP? How does it affect to crop factor in this case?
Asked by: Timo
Metabones recommends when using the Metabones Canon FD/FL-Mount Lens to L-Mount Speed Booster ULTRA 0.71x on a full-frame camera, you would need to activate the camera's APS-C crop mode for best performance. The Sigma fp Mirrorless Camera has a DC Crop mode for APS-C lenses, which limits the recording area of the image sensor for APS-C size. When using the camera's DC Crop Mode, the crop factor will be the equivalent of 1.07x.It is not recommended to use the camera in full-frame mode. If you choose to do so, there will be a large, black vignette around the outside of the image where light is blocked from exposing the sensor.

Canon FD lenses are desing for 35mm films which translate to a digital full frame sensor. Metabones Canon FD/FL-Mount Lens to L-Mount Speed Booster ULTRA 0.71x is going to increment the lens angle of view when shooting in full frame. In this case you will need to select the camera APSC sensor option in order to avoid vignette.
