How To Easily Use Canon Lenses with Sony Cameras

Canon makes great lenses and Sony makes great cameras…so is it possible to merge the two? Yes! And it’s super simple too.

This video takes a look at the Sigma MC-11 EF to E mount adapter, which even though it’s designed specifically for Sigma lenses, works great on all kinds of non-Sigma EF mount lenses.

This is an awesome option because it makes the prospect of switching camera systems a little less intimidating and it also opens up the world of EF lenses, which not only has a lot to offer but is also becoming more and more affordable as Canon transitions to the RF mirrorless mount (seriously, check out some used prices on EF lenses and you can find a lot of great stuff).
