Thanks!

OK then I will not try to contact the guy (I am based in Singapore so if he had been in HK it could have been doable I think but China? No...). I am not a big Sony fan to be honest (I much prefer Canon and Nikon) + I have heaps of EF and F glass

Do you think I could do the mod myself using a spare EF mount from a donor Canon body?

I noticed the canon lens locking pin is not placed a the same place as the Sigma. Would you know how the Chinese modifier setup the lens release button on your moded Sigma?

Thank you!

there were a couple of conversions of SD14s iirc.  One was done by the owner but involved some very technical work including machining iirc.  The other was done by a shop but I don't recall much more than that.

It would take a lot of careful work.  I couldn't do it but I do have a machinist friend who might be able to but his skillset is way higher than mine.  If you have the skillset and the equipment then maybe you could but it won't be easy.  I think the guy in China made his own conversion parts and was likely highly skilled.  He did many of them and I'm pretty sure Mengaza's was from him.
