Ori: “this is an awesome movie about someone moving from nikon to nex to a7RII. He says its like film, and describes how his whole mental perspective changed, using zeiss, mitakon, petzel, etc. https://vimeo.com/154595921”

Hunter Peress: “I have a burning question: “Why can’t I fire a Yongnuo Flash from a Nissin Commander?”  This video explains the question fully, and should be enlightening to all https://youtu.be/Dvw19m7SaKM”

Surprise! Sigma announces the MC-11 Canon EF and Sigma SA to Sony E-mount electronic adapter!

Share

Sigma_Mount_Converter_MC1

Small surprise: Today Sigma announced the new MC-11 electronic adapter. It comes in two versions: Canon EF to Sony E-mount and Sigma SA to Sony E-mount. It allows you to use full electronic aperture, IBIS and autofocus control.

UPDATE: That news was officially posted first on many Spanish sites like Quesabesde and DSLRmagazine. It now has been removed on request from Sigma. probably Sigma Spain did a mistake to post the news before the official announcement date which could be February 23.
