17-50 2.8 Sigma O.S. working

This is the first experiment of 17-50 2.8 with the O.S working.
My reverse engineering of the Canon EF protocol is reaching the end.
these first takes with and without the Optical Stabilizer
(you can hear the click of the switch on the lens).
Next step will be a follow focus (I found the code to move the focus motor as well).
The lens is pretty good and match well the sensor.
here some pics:

Very cool. What mount do you use with the Sigma?

Canon EF.
For the F3 side I made the flange on the lathe (BTW using an old U-matic BVU upper drum) and for the lens side I have used an EF estension tube.
