50D micro focus adjustment for Sigma 30mm f/1.4 Does the micro focus adjustment feature of the Canon EOS 50D work for the Sigma 30mm f/1.4 EX DG HSM lens?

so how did you set it? forward or backward? I adjusted backward just 2mm which seemed to help quite a bit on distance. Do your settings work at both long and short distances? Thanks

Yes, just did mine last night. The focus was off 12mm !!! The lens was working fine on my old 350d, totally shocked.

The adapter I got only allows the lens to fit on the canon, but autofocus does not work. I don't have a sigma lens, so I'm not sure whether yours would autofocus.

J. ONeill says: Did you make a decision? I am currently debating the same two lenses. I am leaning towards the Canon since it seems there are quite a few quality/AF issues with the Sigma. Any advice is appreciated. If you own a camera with micro focus adjustment like the 50D or 7D, Sigmas front or back focusing is a non-issue. Also, even if you don't own a camera with micro focus adjustment, if you get a Sigma lens that front or back focuses, you can send it to Sigma for calibration.

This only works for the three new types of Sigma lenses which includes the ART series, the Sigma Sport series and the Sigma Contemporary series. This dock WILL work for the (50mm F1.4 DG HSM /A) as it is part of the ART series but I believe the one you have is the older version and not the ART series lens so it would not work for your lens.

I bought the sigma right after I got my 6D, Sigma makes the lens with a canon mount. It works fine, and I like the ability to shoot at f 2.8 it makes light come from everywhere. Excellent lens. The Sigma "DG" series is made for full frame and the 3/4 cameras. It is super quiet and fast as well.

As long as you buy the Sigma lens with a Canon mount, it should work fine. I use mine on a 7D.

Canon EF series lenses will work on both the 50D and the 5DMkIII. The EF-S series lenses will only work on smaller sensor cameras like the 50D, not on full-frame cameras like the 5D.

I've been using Kenko close-up filters/lenses on my 14-45, 45-200. 28mm & 50mm K-mount slr lenses and they work pretty well. They really shorten the 36" focus distance of the 45-200.Even after 4 months, I'm not sure what the lady was really asking. I think she was under the impression that a G1 micro 4/3 had a macro/close-up mode just like a P&S;, and they don't.

Sigma works with canon and Nikon but that's how you order the right one. I'm canon shooter and your question is for Nikon shooters. Sorry about not being more specific. Mm

I have the Canon 50mm 1.4. The Bokeh is not very good. not a good choice for macro. I'm now looking for a macro lens.

I have no experience with Nikon or Nikon lenses. I do have & use regularly Canon 75-300 usm & canon is usm lenses. Both are fine lenses with beautiful results in situations where the subject is close enough for the focal lengths available. I also have & use more often a Sigma 50-500mm f/4.56.5 with Hsm & os. I am an avid birder & the Sigma is my choice. The added reach gives capability to get shots at longer distances with excellent results. The Sigma has a disadvantage in its weight. I regularly get excellent handheld shots even with Sigma 2X teleconverter giving excellent quality photos at effective focal length of 1000mm. This does require use of manual focus mode.

Of course it works on the 50D. It also works with all of these cameras: EOS 10D EOS 1D Mark II N EOS 1V EOS 20D EOS 20Da EOS 3 EOS 30D EOS 30D Refurbished (Body) EOS 30D with EF-S 18-55 Lens Refurbished EOS 40D EOS 40D Refurbished (Body) EOS 40D with EF 28-135IS Refurbished EOS 50D (Body) EOS 50D Body Refurbished EOS 50D EF 28-135mm IS Lens Kit EOS 50D EF 28-135mm IS Lens Kit Refurbished EOS 5D EOS 5D Mark II Body EOS 5D Mark II EF 24-105mm IS Lens Kit EOS 5D Mark III Body EOS 5D Mark III Body Refurbished EOS 5D Mark III EF 24-105mm IS Lens Kit EOS 6D Body EOS 6D Body Refurbished EOS 6D EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM Lens Kit EOS 70D EF-S 18-55mm IS STM Kit EOS 7D Body EOS 7D EF 28-135mm IS Lens Kit EOS 7D EF-S 18-135mm IS Lens Kit EOS D30 EOS D60 EOS-1D EOS-1D MARK II EOS-1D Mark III EOS-1D Mark IV Body EOS-1D Mark IV Body Refurbished EOS-1D X Body EOS-1D X Body Refurbished EOS-1Ds EOS-1Ds Mark II EOS-1Ds Mark III This list is straight from the Canon shop direct website.

It seems like it would work on the Canon EOS 300d. Canon's website states that the 300 takes the EF lens and had autofocus, so it should work fine. Although I bought the lense for video recording, because the STM is made to be quieter when focusing, which makes no difference when taking pictures, only when recording video because the internal microphone picks up the sound.

No, unfortunately it will not support AF for SAL 50F1.4. Auto exposure can be used but focusing becomes manual. This adaptor only support AF for SAM lens (for examples, DT 2.8/30 MACRO SAM, DT 1.8/50 SAM...), but it will very very slow. If you want to use AF of SAL 50F14 on the NEX body, you need LAEF2 or 3. In practical, SEL50F18 might be cheaper.

Sigma DC lens are designed primarily for APS-C sensors (comparable to Canon's EF-S lens). They will work on full frame sensors but, as I understand it, the edges of the photo will be affected (darkened...) because the lens does not provide full coverage of the sensor.
