Sigma Cum Laude

[Rolf]

Any experiences with the products of this company ? C/Y or Nikon or Canon to SIGMA SA cams ?

Thanks in advance.

Hi, Rolf !
Not very experienced with Sigma , but still , I owned a Sigma 30 / 1.4 on EOS mount for a year and a half . I loved this lens , had good enough results with it worked well with my EOS XTi (400D) : http://photo.net/photodb/folder?folder_id=944190

But I had problems with it at beginning , it had a serious back focus problem that drove me crazy . I solved it eventually at Sigma Italy service . So , beware there are problems sometimes with the quality control . So , better try the lens on the body before buiyng Or better , a body with micro adjustment of the front/backfocus
I sold this 30/1.4 and bought the NEX 3 and launched me in the MF Lenses ocean So , positive experience , in the end

I've been watching the nice mounts they provide, but I've chosen the other way: to adapt lenses to the SIGMA mount instead.
I got the Sigma to M42 adapter and along with the Tamron to M42 adapter I can mount most of my lenses on the SD14.

But if you have many Nikon or Contax lenses, it may be a good option.

Regards.
Jes.

Many thanks for your answers.

I posted here in German my experiences with products of Sigma Cim Laude, especially the C/Y > SA kit and the Nikon > SA kit.

If I will have a little bit more time I will translate this in English. Until that maybe the Google translater will help a little bit.
