Sigma Mount Converter MC-21 SA-L Mount

Sigma Mount Converter MC-21 L-Mount

With the SIGMA Mount Converter MC-21, owners of SIGMA interchangeable lenses with SA mount can use their lenses on L-mount camera bodies (except Leica L-mount cameras). This converter provides more freedom of choice for L-mount cameras, enhancing the expandability of the L-mount system

By using the MC-21 on the compatible* SIGMA interchangeable lenses with SA mount, they can be used as L-mount system lenses to promote the effective use of existing valuable lenses

29 interchangeable lenses are available for use with L-mount cameras

The MC-21 increases the number of interchangeable lenses manufactured by SIGMA that can be used with the L-mount system by 29 lenses. Thanks to the compatibility with the auto-crop function, the DC lenses designed for the APS-C format can also be used on a camera body with a 35mm full-frame sensor

LED indicator and the color of the LED indicator immediately show whether the mounted lens is compatible or not. The LED also indicates whether a lens firmware update is available

Pre-implemented lens data

Autofocus and aperture control have been optimized based on the use of the lens data pre-implemented in the MC-21 by the special control program. With regard to lenses that will be released in the future, the data for the operation of these lenses on the MC-21 is stored in the lens. This means that no firmware update will be required for the use of future lenses on the MC-21.

the MC-21 also supports camera correction functions such as vignetting, lateral chromatic aberration and distortion

Compatibility with other cameras

• When the MC-21 was announced on February 26, 2019, Sigma stated that the MC-21 was also compatible with Leica Camera AG L-mount cameras (SL, CL and TL2). However, the specifications have changed, so the MC-21 is unfortunately not compatible with the existing Leica L-mount cameras. Sigma apologizes for this inconvenience
