Re: Don't hold your breath

There is a whole another big reason why the third party vendors won't NOW rush into manufacturing native Canon lenses for the R family...it is called the C. Virus.  All of these vendors are in the mode of preserving cash just as Canon is, Sony, and every other camera vendor and consumers are.  In 18 months time the whole camera industry could look completely different in terms of manufacturers, distributors, retailers, consultants, web sites such as this, magazines, the whole ball of wax so to speak.  So wish upon the star all you want, but financial realities for each company will rule the day as they always do and not what we consumers wish for.  Two things changed the dsrl camera marketplace for us consumers...the smart phone and now the virus and where things end up who knows.

On the other hand modern cameras even those ten or so years old or even older in the right hands are capable of taking some really wonderful images...smart phone or not.
