Hello everyone,
Has anyone tried to use a Sigma 17-70 F2.8-4 Contemporary DC OS HSM on a Fuji-X body?
I loved the older version (non contemporary) during my Pentax days. The contemporary version is even better.
Since I'm not happy with Fuji's current zooms (18-55 f2.8-4: too limited range and bad bokeh, 16-55 f2.8: huge and limited range, 16-80 f4: bad IQ), I'm thinking of using a Sigma 17-70 f2.8-4 using either a Fringer EF-FX Pro II (Canon EF to Fuji) or Fringer NF-FX (Nikon F to Fuji).
I'm more leaning towards the Fringer EF-FX Pro II as it seems to support more lenses than the Nikon version (and also because it's probably more tested given there are probably more Canon users than Nikon out there).
Although I see it's supported or the adapter page (https://www.fringeradapter.com/canon-ef-to-fujifilm-x), I'd like to know if someone has some first hand experience with the Sigma 17-70 and the adapter? How does it compare to a native lens in term of AF speed and accuracy for instance.
Thanks!
