Re: Sigma SDQH is changed to canon EF and can auto focus

Don't do it.  There is a guy in China who can do this but he only speaks Chinese and given the situation in China right now I'd say the chances of success are minimal.  I do have an SD1 Merrill converted to Canon but I'm traveling and won't put it on the market until late January or early February.  I had the guy in China do a Quattro for me as well that I sold here a couple of weeks ago.  Unfortunately I don't know how to contact him at this point and unless you speak Chinese it would be pretty difficult to communicate with him.  I do speak Chinese and it was still a troubled transaction.

If I were you I'd get a sony A7r X all of which are more versatile than a Quattro.  The IQ will not match if you're a pixel peeker though.

Hi guys,

Reviving an old thread but does anyone know who can modify the SDq please? I have one on hand and a bunch of EF lenses.

Would it be complicated /risky to do? (I could get a donor Canon EOS for the mounting system for cheap).

I saw a YT video where the release mechanism had to be added to the side of the SDq so I am not sure it involved cutting or if the lens release mechanism of the SD q can be used once converted to EF mount.

Thank you!
