Thank you so much for this! I was surprised that the Sigma adapter only supports Sigma lenses so I went to buy the Metabones adapter... only to be shocked that they don't make one! So I just ordered this for my S5 (cost $109USD shipped to NY.) Primarily for aperture control and lens metadata in Lightroom because I only use manual focus Canon lenses. FYI Metabones does make a Canon FD / FL lens to L mount adapter that costs $99.

Great information! Thank you for this comparison and review, it'll save me money and ensure I select the best L mount adapter for my Lumix S5.

Cheers bro, this was very helpful. I bought the commlite and it's great. I also love that it has the easily removable tripod mount.

AFter watching the video I bought the commlite. Be warned: DO NOT get the commlite adapter - it's absolute trash! The tolerance between units is huge, I ordered 3 and all of the did not properly fit on the camera mount and/or the lens gasket. A fellow photographer bought the unit as well and it actually damaged his camera permanently. Autofocus is 100% unusable and the connection between camera and adapter was so loose on my units the electrical connection was lost as soon as I used larger (not cine or telezoom) lenses and moved slightly. It is cheaper and it is so for a reason: It's crap. The sigma does force crop (which you can circumvent by shortly disconnecting lens and adapter while the camera is on) but it's a tight fit and it works apart from AFC, which doesn't work on any adapter (and is unusable in video on the S5 anyway). Still, thank your for the well put together video - but I guess you have to be very lucky with the unit you get delivered, not putting any blame on Lumin Gate Visuals.

Thank you! There is not too many information about this adapter.

Excellent video, exactly what I needed (by chance). Do you know how to get any new firmware? It's not listed on their download pages as far as I can tell.

Useful information. Which lens did you use to make this excellent video?

Thank you for your great review :)

I guess Sigma decided not to support CAF because they weren't able to make it work well. And not being able to force APS-C to full frame is a problem caused by Panasonic, since one could easily have a toggle in the settings for that. So the only thing Sigma probably should be embarrassed about is that the AF generally doesn't work as well.

finally an australian video thankyou mate

Hi, how tight does the adapter sit on the camera? I got mine yesterday and it has some play that annoys me. I am not sure though if it is normal since nobody really talks about that. I hope that mine is defective since I also can't make the autofocus (AF-S and AF-C) work on my 18-35. thanks :)

There is the Viltrox EF-L Auto Focus . with usb port for firmware update. Im waiting for my S5. But for my gh5 the Viltrox adapter turns to be better and it was 200 $ instead ot the speedbooster (600 $) It the best adapter for EF to M4/3 specially with the update firmwre. I don't understand why sigma didnt put a usb or something to update for such an expensive adapter. So i don't see any video about Viltrox EF-L Auto Focus , and i know that the Viltrox EF- M4/3 EF-MII was a really good and solid for the price. so i'm like waiting to have comparison with comlite & Viltrox EF-L Auto Focus

Thank you.

I have a pressing question: Does the Lumix S5 focus bracketing work with the Sigma MC 21 adapter or with any of the adapter you have? I want to use the Canon EF 24-70mm f/4L IS USM lens with the S5, but I was told it will disable the focus bracketing. Focus bracketing is a must-have for me. Could you please check it?

Thank you 🙏👌

where is link on aliexpres maan? What does it mean - "Complete EF to L mount adapter." - ? In your description )))

Thanks for the video! what about the viltrox adapter, will it switch to crop mode?

Great video!!! I've learned a lot! But, please work on your audio for the next video...pleeaassseee.... Other than that, thank you very much for this!

Thanks for the video, i can see two different options of the Sigma mc-21 online, one says SA-L mount (supposed to work with Sigma's ef mount lenses) and some versions says EF-L mount (supposed to work with canon EF lenses) is it true or its the same adapter?

Did you film this with the Panasonic S5

S5 seems underrated, going to grab 1. Thanks for the video!

Thanks..

How are you finding the Panasonic S5

Hi there , did Comlite fix the pulsing ?

Mate. Good review. But know this. The original s5 is contrast. There will be hunting nomatter what. With s52 or s52x its pashe detect af. No more hunting and afc works in foto and video including fast tracking.

Is not the Lumix S5 contrast detection auto focus which results often in pulsing and breathing even with just a native lens ? Ive just purchased the Lumix S5 MK2 with the new hybrid autofocus system which is fantastic for continual focus and fixed the pulsing etc on previous models. Im looking for an adapter and wonder if the commlite might be much better with the new auto focus system ? anyone tried it on a S5 MK2?

DON'T BUY IT AFTER A MONTH OF USE IT STOPPED WORKED WAS NO LONGER COMMUNICATING WITH THE LENS I WAS USING.. ALSO IT BROKE MY LENS FIXING THE APERTURE AT 2.8

Jesus - these examples look horrendous...Seems like it isn't worth buying Sigma lenses at all.
