Viltrox ef to e mount IV vs Sigma M11: What I WISH I KNEW!!

In this video, the host dives into the world of lens adapters for the Sony FX30 camera, aiming to find the perfect match for optimal performance. Opening with excitement, the host reveals two boxes containing crucial components for their setup. They introduce the Sigma F1.8 Art Series 18-35mm lens, highly recommended for pairing with the FX30 due to the absence of zoom lenses in Sony's E-mount range. However, a challenge arises as the lens comes in an EF mount, necessitating a converter.
The review progresses as the host shares their experience with two adapters: the Viltrox EF-NEX version 4 autofocus mount adapter and the Sigma MC-11. Despite initial optimism, the Viltrox adapter disappoints with subpar autofocus functionality, accompanied by loud, distracting noises. With a humorous touch, the host demonstrates the unsatisfactory performance, highlighting the importance of thorough research before purchasing such accessories.
Transitioning to the Sigma MC-11 adapter, the host experiences a remarkable improvement. The lens operates seamlessly with the FX30, resembling the performance of a native Sony lens. They express enthusiasm about the newfound compatibility and functionality, emphasizing the importance of choosing the right adapter to avoid wasted investments.

alright! going with sigma. thanks.

That's interesting! My experience with MC-11 was exactly the opposite. It sounded terrible and loud. I couldn't even focus the lens on the video. I had to return it and later I noticed that people have the same issues as me. It should cost like 40€, not 250€ (Spain price). Anyway, I am still looking for the "perfect" one... 🥹

From what I've learnt it seems to depend on which lens you are pairing , some seem to work better than others. What lenses are you using

[@nealhope6127]

Did you try updating it?

[@Sonymoviemasters]

Yes I did that. Tbh I'm sure for "canon" lenses it might work better, but all I had to try it was my sigma ef mount 18-35. This has been the popular goto for the fx30. But they dont make them in sony e mount. I'll give it a go with my friends native canon lenses.
