Quote:And Sony offers A-mount to E-mount adapters. How could you lose that?
It's just another adapter. So, no advantage on Sigma. Plus, none of the APS-C sized cameras by Sony has got ISIS... so, for E-mount, APS-C shooters, no stabilisation. In the end, the Sigma solution is more palatable for a broader range of customers.
PS In theory, the MC-11 is not an adapter like others: it doesn't have to translate a specific protocol to another specific protocol with all its evens and odds; according to Sigma it "replaces" the firmware of the lens. This could leave more room for a better integration, since there are less constraints.
Whether If in practice this holds true... I don't know.
