Sony a6700 issues with sigma 56

Mariusseba — Wed, 18 Oct 2023 19:19:41 GMT

Does anyone have issues with the combo a6700+Sigma 56 f1.4?
While taking pictures, randomly freezes, the screen goes black and it takes around 5-10 seconds to recover…the autofocus is not working as soon as it recovers..it takes also some seconds to be functional?! Could you please advise? Is it a firmware issue or a camera/lens issue?

You should contact Sigma support and tell them the issue.

They have to update their lenses firmware

Samyang is going to release a firmware update for AF compatibility with 6700. Maybe that the same will come from sigma.
