The 55-250 is an EFS lens, that is why it won't mount on Sigma adapter, which is solely made for Canon EF lenses. But independent lenses sometimes work
I have the Metabones III and it worked, sort of, but then I bought Sigma MC11 and things really changed. Great adapter. It should function best with Sigma lenses, but my Canon 70-200 f/4.0 works superfast. The 24-105 is also great with this adapter. Single focus is perfect, but the AF-C is not keeping up all the time. Doesn't bother me. Thanks for another great video!
This is really helpful! I want a good adapter but don't want to invest in new lens yet. Already got a Commlite for my Canon 28mm but perform poorly, and now certainly going to have a go at Sigma MC-11!
Just a heads up for anybody wondering... If you want to use EF-S lenses with any adapter you'll need to remove the rubber section from the mount of the lens and it'll mount on the adapter just fine
Quite a few Sigma lenses will not work with the MC-11 either. I tried to use a Standard 17-70 f2.8-4 and it almost autofocused but not quite. When I tried to shoot in bracket mode the camera stopped responding. I think because the lens defaulted to wide open apeture and only stopped down as the picture was being shot. I replaced that lens with a new Contemporary 17-70 and have had no problems other than fairly slow AF.
Dear Jeff Ello your video about the e-mount adapters is very helpful. It really opened my eyes. You have a very interesting TH-cam channel. I would like to ask you about the Canon 24mm f/2.8 IS USM you have tested with the Commlite adapter. Does it support the Image Stabilization in practice? Have you tested that? Does the stabilization has the same efficiency with Commlite adapter? Best Regards Achileas Labrou.
Good test, subscribed! Been doing video work with the commlite (A7s to canon 24-105 f4) and have been fairly happy. Never used it photography wise cause it's slow so might look into the sigma adapter to be able to do both video and photo better... However for manual focusing video work the commlite has been good value for the money.
Nice video Jeff. On the contrary though, the Tokina 11-16 DX V1 works fine here on my A6000 with the MC11 adapter. Well, the AF is a tad slow but it surely works! It even detects faces and tracks/locks on objects properly!
Such a pity that sigma mc11 doesn't do tracking in photo or af-c in video for canon glass. I hope they do roll out a firmware that will enable at least af-c video. I can workaround with wide af-c for tracking subjects.
Is the EF-S 18-135 STM known to work with any of the cheaper adapters? That's my everyday Canon lens that I would want to bring over if I moved to Sony.
found the commlite to focus very quickly with canon lenses however never 100% accurate as in it will lock on but its not perfectly in focus. Anyone else experienced this? Metabones speedbooster works well but heavy vignetting, perfect for super35mm filming though (AF doesnt work properly for filming though).
so Jeff I am really confused in the video you say that the sigma MC-11 don't work on Canon EF 50 mm 1.4? right and in the description below say is yes it is work..can you clarify me please..thank you
Good catch...I never noticed that. While the lens functions, and might lock on, the experience is exceptionally bad for normal use. So I would qualify it as "might work in some cases, but it's a poor experience all around.".
The ef-s lens has a rubbert part thst makes the mount a little bit longer. That's why it don't fitm on some ef-s lenses u can just drag thst rubber part out :)
Hi, you did not mount the 11-16 correctly on the MC11.. notice the yellow mark is not in line with white mark on adaptor... no wonder it did not work :)
You are wrong! The yellow line is not supposed to be in line with the white mark on the adapter. The yellow line is for the distance (11 to 16mm) measurement on the lens. As long as you hear the click when turning, the lens is installed correctly.
I have the Tokina 11-16mm ATX Pro II - works great! The yellow line is in the middle and in line with the white mark on the adapter. In the video еhe lens is attached incorrectly.
Александр Кавун correct. at the time this video was made, I didn't realize the subtle difference between EF and EF-s mounts. I had mark I version of the 11-16, which had the EF-s mount. the 11-16 mark II, however, uses a normal EF mount despite being a crop lens. So yes, I was dumb at the time. I am slightly less dumb now. :)
Hmmm....okay. My mistake, then. Another question: what is your opinion about the rolling shutter on this a6300? I want to buy this camera, but I see a lot of users struggle with this problem.
The limitations vary by lens... some work better than others and it's sometimes hard to tell which modes the camera is running in. I suspect with the 70-300 it is doing contrast. I haven't used the 50 as much as I thought I would since moving to the 6300... thinking of getting rid of it.
If the camera is on, the internal battery will not charge - that is true. When running on USB power, the a6300 will use 4.35 Watts of power from USB and draw the rest of what it needs (averaging about 6.5 Watts total in 4k video mode) from the internal battery. I have a video about power and heat coming shortly.
The only difference between the speedbooster and the non-speedbooseter versions of the metabones adapter is that the speedbooster has an optic that acts as a focal reducer. The non-speedbooster has no optics. The supported lenses, i believe, are the same between the two metabones versions. The commlite, metabones and MC-11 all work better/worse with different sets of lenses... so whether one is better or worse is based largely on the lenses you own. You cannot, for example, use any EF-S mount lenses on the MC-11, but you can on the commlite and metabones adapters. For me, and my lenses, the MC-11 allows my lenses to focus faster, and supports more AF modes than either of the other adapters.
izoyt the adapter does not work with ef-s mount lenses. there is a subtle difference between the EF and EF-s mounts (which I did not realize when shooting this vid), so lenses that use the EF-s mount will not seat on the adapter. there are some aps-c lenses that use the EF mount instead of EF-s... and those should seat properly.
But knowbody says sad things about chineese low budget adapters, I've got my Viltrox with a7s, in new condition everithing seems to be OK. Now lenses changing is lottery. There are no aperture control or just black screen, many reboots, many attempts until it will work fine. That's why I'm switching to Sigma MC-11
It is designed to provide full native Sony focus features when used with specific Sigma Art series lenses, correct. But like other adapters, it works with a wide range of lenses with varying degrees of success.

Yes, the stabilization works just as well on the a6300 as on my old 60D. The stabilizer on the 70-300 also works well.

Jeff, as always, your videos have been extremely helpful. I am going to subscribe.
i will go with Commlite because of EF-S option and cheaper xD
i want to remain lightweight so my main lens is canon 24mm stm f2.8 and 50mm stm f1.8
Nice video Jeff. On the contrary though, the Tokina 11-16 DX V1 works fine here on my A6000 with the MC11 adapter. Well, the AF is a tad slow but it surely works! It even detects faces and tracks/locks on objects properly!
Im surprised the Tokina even attached to eh Sigma MC-11. EFS lenses arent supposed to. Unless your Tokina is not an EF-S mount?
Such a pity that sigma mc11 doesn't do tracking in photo or af-c in video for canon glass. I hope they do roll out a firmware that will enable at least af-c video. I can workaround with wide af-c for tracking subjects.
I heard it's also made really only to work with sigma brand canon EF mount lenses properly such as the 18-35 f1.8
Is the EF-S 18-135 STM known to work with any of the cheaper adapters? That's my everyday Canon lens that I would want to bring over if I moved to Sony.
Jeff Thanks for this awesome video. Do you know if the EF-S 17-55 F2.8 work with the Sigma adapter?
It will not. No EF-s lenses will work...only EF.
found the commlite to focus very quickly with canon lenses however never 100% accurate as in it will lock on but its not perfectly in focus. Anyone else experienced this?

@@Photonarmy thank you
Hi, with the tokina and commlite, the Aperture(f-stop) of lens work very nice?
Auto Focus works in video or only photo mode? with comlite
helpful. thanks. do you know if the tamron 17-50 EF works with commlite??
The ef-s lens has a rubbert part thst makes the mount a little bit longer. That's why it don't fitm on some ef-s lenses u can just drag thst rubber part out :)
How is the spill between the adapter and the lens? I have the Yongnuo, and its terrible!
Hi, you did not mount the 11-16 correctly on the MC11.. notice the yellow mark is not in line with white mark on adaptor... no wonder it did not work :)
Yep!

Another question: what is your opinion about the rolling shutter on this a6300?
I want to buy this camera, but I see a lot of users struggle with this problem.
How about Canon EFs 10-22mm and Canon EF85mm F1.8 on commlite adapter?
Very useful tests. Thank you!
Do you know if the Tokina continuous autofocus works with any other adapter?
Thank you for this helpful video exactly what I needed
how about canon 50mm f1.4 + sigma adapter in video mode??
btw what autofocus mode did you use? is it contrast detection or phase detection?
The limitations vary by lens... some work better than others and it's sometimes hard to tell which modes the camera is running in. I suspect with the 70-300 it is doing contrast. I haven't used the 50 as much as I thought I would since moving to the 6300... thinking of getting rid of it.
How did you get your camera not to go into usb mode when the micro usb charger is plugged in? My a6000 won't let me charge if the camera is turned on
If the camera is on, the internal battery will not charge - that is true. When running on USB power, the a6300 will use 4.35 Watts of power from USB and draw the rest of what it needs (averaging about 6.5 Watts total in 4k video mode) from the internal battery.

You didn't lock the 11-16, it's really clear visible, so I think it will work.
I shot this video years ago. Ultimately the problem was that the old 11-16 was incompatible... The mkII version of the 11-16 works alright.
@@Photonarmy sorry, did you read my message? You didn't turn it until lock. There was no contact.
@@kiyashko86 correct, both things are true. It was not locked and would not have worked if it was. :)
My MC-11 works fine with canon 70-200 F4
Does the tamron 24-70 work with this adapter?
theres canon efs and ef. I have an canon 18-250 efs it doesn't fit on the mc11 adapter
Hi, does Tokina 11-16 have any problem with infinity focus in manual mode?
Mine has with commlite, infinity is blurry
Can you test the commlite af with the canon 10-18mm f4.5?
I believe the 10-18 is an EF-S mount lens, so it will not work with the MC-11.
Great video thanks, very useful to know!
have you tested Metabones mk IV?
my mc11 not work auto focus Canon 40mm STM , any camara setting
so what about the metabones speedbooster? it's better?
The only difference between the speedbooster and the non-speedbooseter versions of the metabones adapter is that the speedbooster has an optic that acts as a focal reducer. The non-speedbooster has no optics. The supported lenses, i believe, are the same between the two metabones versions.

For me, and my lenses, the MC-11 allows my lenses to focus faster, and supports more AF modes than either of the other adapters.
can anyone confirm that this adapter does not accept aps-lenses (af), or is this just a ef-s or maybe even canon ef-s/ 55-250 thing?
izoyt the adapter does not work with ef-s mount lenses. there is a subtle difference between the EF and EF-s mounts (which I did not realize when shooting this vid), so lenses that use the EF-s mount will not seat on the adapter. there are some aps-c lenses that use the EF mount instead of EF-s... and those should seat properly.
does adapting canon lenses with the mc-11 give soft corners??
There is no glass in the mc11 to distort the image, so no, image quality is not effected by adapting
Im pretty sure that sigma mc-11 just support EF lenses, not EF-s
But knowbody says sad things about chineese low budget adapters, I've got my Viltrox with a7s, in new condition everithing seems to be OK. Now lenses changing is lottery. There are no aperture control or just black screen, many reboots, many attempts until it will work fine. That's why I'm switching to Sigma MC-11
Thank you for this review
Your ambient sounds like a horror movie
Thank you! Most people don't appreciate the details.
The MC-11 is only made for Sigma lenses...
It is designed to provide full native Sony focus features when used with specific Sigma Art series lenses, correct. But like other adapters, it works with a wide range of lenses with varying degrees of success.
What about the aperture on 50mm? Does it work with mc11?
Hi there, any idea if the MC-11 would work well with Canon 17-40 L, 24-105 L and the latest 100 Macro?
