Nice result for such a combo. Are you able to focus reliably ? I have had some problems with Sigma lenses and the FT1 adapter.

Guy, here we have a full manual focus... it is a "dumb" Fotodiox adapter with no contacts whatsoever. There is not even focus assist. So yes, for such a subject, focusing is a bit tight.

Regarding Sigma lenses and FT1, I read (I think on byThom) that the focusing problem is only with the lenses with OS. But I have not tried. I choose the Fotodiox because of its low price (39 euros via amazon incl. shipping and duties) as I was not sure if the FT1 would work or not.
