Sony E-mount cameras cannot take Canon EF lenses directly, so a mount converter is needed. Sigma makes the MC-11 in an EF-E version for Canon EF-mount lenses on Sony E-mount bodies. Sigma states that it gives Sigma lenses made for Canon cameras full automatic exposure control on Sony E-mount bodies, and it points buyers to a compatibility chart for specific lenses. Check your exact lens there before buying. The adapter details, autofocus table and camera and lens lists below are drawn from our own database, which shows how many of each we have recorded for this combination.
