I've had confirmation back from Sigma, they can convert to Sony FE mount but only for lenses that they have released in that mount. So unfortunately no 120-300 at the moment.

Thanks for the update, I’m not convinced the whether it is a viable option. Also thinking from a resale point of view, I think th Canon mount would hold up better

actually the opposite. Sony lenses hold their value better than canon lenses as there are few of them.
 
Are you saying that i can give sigma my existing 35mm art canon mount lens and they will convert it to proper emount?

So far, many of those that reported focus issues with the Tamron have all resolved it by setting the camera to focus priority.

Weird though that 1 minute it works then the next it doesn't. That doesn't scream camera setting, FW bug?

You'll lose less money on the Canon, it's true the Sony holds up well but then you probably paid more for the Sony in the first place.

That's the front focus issue not the AF failure requiring them to remove the lens.

I'm hoping the latter is just a small batch issue as I don't like any of the other options in this range at the moment.

Also been very impressed, no mirrorless Ive used until now has beaten my D750 as an allrounder, cant think of any way the D750 is better for my requirements (IQ or AF wise), its (more than) what I hoped Nikon wouldve developed in the D750 mk2 but they have left their development waaaaaay to late. The D750 is 4 years old now.

I have to agree, I too am very impressed when you consider its a £1999 body vs competitors. :)
 
Siggy 50 testing in decent light, f1.4 / 1/4000 ISO 100.

Eye AF, 10FPS, subject walking toward me, 24 out of 31 in focus (last 2 were because hit MFD)! MC11 combo cant do that, definitely better than adapted.

Try it at 8 FPS, in the little I've tested eye af I had better results with that over 10 fps.

how is the focussing compared to your samyang 35mm f/1.4? and also how is focussing noise compared to it?

Yeah, to be honest the lens locking up so nothing works at all I'd class as a different problem to the front focus issues. Obviously just changing to focus priority isn't going to do much to help with that problem.
