Sony shooters are getting EyeAF and Image stabilization with this lens. Two features not offered to Canon or Nikon and this lens was designed for them!

Ken,
Can you post a picture showing the Sigma 135/1.8 with MC-11? Thanks for the samples!
Fred


Why wouldn't the Nikon Eye AF work with this lens?


I didn't know Nikon bodies offered EyeAF!


Yes the Nikon eye AF does work very well. It is not well documented and I recently started a thread. I have the D750 and D850 and it works extremely well in a dynamic AF situations. It is not obvious as all you have to do is change the metering (b) matrix metering to face detection on. The AF-C is set Auto and it will find the face and nearest eye. The only issue with the OVF is that the AF may track onto any part of the face but the algorithm will find the nearest eye accurately. I have used this a lot with difficult lenses like the 58/1.4G, 85/1.4G and 105/1.4G
