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?

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

Hey Jody! Well the rig should work on all DSLRs (I have it and it seems to be very adjustable). However, the focusing component on it-the part that makes it a good deal- definitely doesn't work on all lenses. Any lens with a moving focus ring (most kit lenses), any lens with a focus ring on its end (Canon 50mm 1.8 is what I used) and most likely any lens with a really stiff focus action will end up being a major, major hassle ( like yelling at your lens bad). If you can do without the focusing component, I'd recommend a different rig.

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.

It's an autofocus lens so should it work. See what Sigma says: "HSM stands for Hyper Sonic Motor. It is a new type of motor used in some of Sigma's newer lenses. The technology employed is similar to that used in certain lenses made by other camera manufacturers. The benefits of HSM system are: virtually silent autofocus function, very quick responsive autofocus function. Sigma is the only independent lens maker offering lenses with this technology. We have a number of HSM type lenses for Canon and Sigma AF cameras, and we also have several HSM lenses for Nikon AF cameras (N55, N65, N70, N75, N80, N90, N90S, F100, F4s, F5, D1, D1X, D1H, D100 and D70, as well).

Yes it will. And, quite well, I would imagine.Sigma DC lenses are similar to Canon EF-S lenses in that they will only work with APS-C sensor models, such as the Rebel line (also known as EOS xxxD and xxxxD) and 2-digit EOS models like 40D, 50D, and 60D, as well as the single digit 7D.FYI - It will not work with Full-Frame sensor models, such as 6D, 5D, and 1D.

It will work with 3rd party lenses made for Canon AF Cameras. EF or EF-S mounts are both supported by this set. Occasionally an 3rd party lens (i.e.Sigma, Tokina, Tamron etc.) will not function on newer bodies and require their mfg to update firmware in the lens. This is pretty rare though. I do not believe the original question was referring to Sigma lenses made for Sigma cameras, but rather those made for Canon. Sigma for Canon is quite popular.

I agree with Juan J's answer. The lenses I tried were Minolta, Maxxum, Sigma, Quantaray and Tamron and Sony Alpha, and they worked okay on a Canon 7d and Canon Rebel both digital and film, but not as well as when attached to Maxxum or Sony dslr cameras. To reiterate, the lenses need manual focus and aperture on Canon EOS cameras.

Please, see the chart shown in this Sigma site page: http://www.sigmaphoto.com/product/sigma-usb-dockIt shows that for 18-200mm F3.5-6.3 DC MACRO OS HSM it is only possible to update firmware and adjust the Focus Setting.

No. Sigma designates image stabilization with an 'OS' in the model name. The newer version of this lens does have it: http://www.amazon.com/Sigma-50-500mm-4-5-6-3-Telephoto-Canon/dp/B003980YK6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1363364953&sr=8-1&keywords=Sigma+50-500mm

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 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.

Will the Sigma 50mm f/2.8 EX DG Macro lens work on a Nikon D3200 in auto-focus?
2191462
Although i havent tried it ith that lens specificially, it works with all lens that I have tried including the Sigma 50-500. Auto focus may not work very well however because of the loss in aperture. I also found that instead of individual sensor focus, group sensor auto focus works more reliably.

Yes this lens works with any EOS Canon model as long as it has the proper EOS mount. There are other mounts such as Nikon, Sigma, and so forth. So make sure this lens has the Canon EOS mount

It does not. At this point, December 2014, there is no Canon EF to micro 4/3 adapter that enables auto focus on Canon Lenses.

I have not been happy with the auto focus. I have used this lens with both a cannon T3 and a cannon 70D. The problem is it will no come into focus. I have contacted sigma asking if there is anything that can be done about this. I have not yet gotten a reply.
