Sigma says the new Sony E-mount Art lenses will feature a newly developed control algorithm that optimises the autofocus drive and maximises the data transmission speed.
The new Art lenses will also be compatible with Sony’s Continuous AF and high-speed autofocus, which are not covered by Sigma’s MC-11 Sony E-mount converter.
They will, however (as is the MC-11) be compatible with Sony’s in-camera image stabilisation and in-camera aberration correction, which includes corrections for peripheral illumination, chromatic aberrations and distortion.
