I'll open with the question: If it existed for the Sigma SD14, would a dandelion be applicable to this camera?
My knowledge on this subject is severely limited, which I why I'm seeking your counsel. I know dandelion devices exist for other camera makes, e.g., Nikon, Canon, Olympus, to facilitate focus confirmation when MF lenses are used on those cameras. The dandelion is needed because on those other camera brands the built-in focus confirmation is intentionally defeated when the camera detects absence of a compatible AF lens. Since it's not necessary intentionally to defeat this feature under such circumstances, I assume this is something those other manufacturers include in their design in order to increase sales of their AF lenses.
None of that helps me. I own a Sigma SD14 camera. But I don't know whether Sigma follows the lead of those other manufacturers and defeats the SD14's focus confirmation when a MF lens is on the camera.
Any help and guidance will be appreciated.
