As above.. anyone use this lens with the signs mc-21 adapter?

The lens doesn’t have an aperture ring so need to the adapter to do the talking the camera for aperture control..unless there is another adapter or manual alternative?

Let me know thanks!

I've used the BMCC 6k and MC-21 adapter with the Zeiss ZE Distagon 21mm and ZE Planar T 50mm. The camera controls the aperture as expected.
