As shared yesterday, we’ve got the Sigma MC-11 in on demo. When paired with the 35/f1.4 Art lens, and attached to a Alpha Series camera, it’s a system that fits my photographic style. Introducing the lens to the US market a couple weeks ago, Sigma released this introduction video. And, yep, it works flawlessly and fires off Sony’s focusing features; including, Eye AF. The Sigma smart adaptor and lens is really about pointing, shooting, and getting publishable results. It’s perfect for a blogger like me on deadline, and budget. The lens costs about $500.00 less than the comparable Sony lens or $250.00 less with the adaptor. That leaves budget for another lens from Sigma or an ancient Canon found at a used-camera store…..B&H offers a Sigma bundle for $999.00, and that’s another $150.00 in savings.
Buy the MC-11 and 35/F1.4 from Amazon, directly from Sigma, or B&H and enjoy your time with it like I have. Please note that Sigma sent us the lens and adaptor to demo. They are also an advertiser on SonyMirrorlessPro.com. Find the high-rez photos on Flickr.
