I saw the review on youtube, from Tony Nortup if I'm not mistaken?

He said it has great optical quality that can match full frame....but seemed to have problem with the focus

It doesn't. I've tried this lens on 7D, 80D, 6D, eos M and M50.

There's no inconsistency.

That's awesome! I think I'll try to rent lens first before buy it. It's between Sigma 50mm f1.4 or 50-100 f1.8 .

It is always good to rent before you buy. I did rent the sigma 50-100mm, and i can confirm with the M50 there are no AF problems.  I took a view shots with my 70D, and i am not sure if this works quite as well. I took not enough shots to say more about it.

As long as you want to shoot it on a M50 i would not hesitate to buy it, as the AF problems reviewers are reporting are DSLR-related problems.

If you rent a lens, make sure it has the latest firmware!!!  I have a sigma dock so i updated the lens myself. If you don't, make sure the company you will rent from will have the lens updated for you.

By the way, do you think viltrox speed booster will improve the image quality noticeable?

With these kind of lenses - especially the zoom - i would just spend a view extra bucks and go with the OEM adapter. It would be silly to have lenses without compromises, and an adapter eventually occasionally screwing up your IQ, right?

I have both the Viltrox and the Canon adapter, but not the lenses at hand you want to buy. I am also not sure if i can manage to create all kind of situations that could possibly cause problems.

If your facts are different we could save the peace just by calling it copy to copy variation.
