Anyone out there using the Sony A 9 with the sigma mc-11 adaptor using the 100-400 canon lens, with the 1.4x iii extender. If you can you tell me how that is working out for you.
Thank you for the information in advance.

Using that on the a7riii and pleasantly surprised how well it works, fast and accurate- probably the best of any Canon lens I have with the mc11

I did, BUT they are all at least 2 years old and there have been firmware updates since then ....

Used that set up on my a7III AF is a little slow but otherwise worked better than on my 7Dmk2 for image quality

I use the A9 and A7r IV with the MC-11, Canon mount Tamron 15-30mm G2 and the Sigma 24-35mm f2 lenses. It works well, autofocus is quick and accurate but not silent like the native mount Sony lenses and the Sigma 24-70 Art dn lens. The Sony 100-400 GM is an awesome lens but pricey.

100-400 is sort of pricey (mine’s used) but works well on the A7Riii. Had an MC-11 with a contemporary Sigma 150-600 Canon fit but focusing was slow and picture quality iffy.

I got mine as “new open box” for $1900, it’s a great walk around lens. I gave up Nikon and a 200-500 for the Sony 200-600, it should be a GM lens.

The A9 is a fast camera and it's built for speed. Using any lens besides Sony FE lenses would make it slower.
