How well do non Canon lenses work with DPAF?

[dvcrn]

In the market for a new lens and some of what Sigma has out there looks very very nice, but I am worried that AF performance with DPAF will go down the drain when going that route. Anyone with experience?

What camera body are you talking about using them on?

They work very well, sometimes you will need to calibrate them a tad. Just know that sigma lenses are loud when they AF.

You mean that even the 18-35 1.8 is loud when auto focusing?

Thanks

I don't have that lens, but when I did research, it seemed to be just as noisy as my other sigma lenses. I have had 2x Sigma 35mm 1.4, a 24mm 1.4 and their 50mm 1.4, they all have a loud clicking type sound until you stop down to f/4 or something. Many people use that lens on MF with peaking. I use the 1DX ii, it focuses extremely fast, I am sure my camera makes lenses a tad louder than something like a 6D. 

If you don't use something like the 1DX and use a shotgun mic, without the subject moving a ton, you should be fine.
