rs3d Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 As Sigma offers Mount Conversion I wonder if they support E-Mount Conversion with the 18-35mm F1.8 DC HSM? Or have you heard of plans for a native E-Mount in the future? Sounds like a great potential option for the A6300... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rs3d Posted March 17, 2016 Author Share Posted March 17, 2016 I know, but the Adapter costs 300€ in Europe... I was just wondering if native E-Mount (for this lens) is an option for Sigma (rumored) or if the Adapter will be the future and universal solution for all lenses anyway...

JurijTurnsek Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 High doubt it, since it would mean physically extending the lens. Lens mount conversion is meant for mounts with similar flange distances - you can group them into DSLR mounts (long flange distance) and mirrorless mounts (short flange distance).

Xavier Plagaro Mussard Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 The adapter is not cheap, but if it does what it says, it is a good investment. It avoids you to buy Sony lenses which are expensive and test pretty bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, the 35mm/1.4 with this adaptor.. the adaptor is worth the money to get that 35mm madman running effectively on e-mount if af is important to the shooter.

Xavier Plagaro Mussard Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 I was thinking zooms, I read photozone.de and Sony zooms test really bad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
