Re: Poll, R mount and 3ed party lenses

I was just imagining myself nowadays on the situation I had 10 years ago when I decided to buy a DSLR, both for general use and for plane spotting.

At that moment, one of the key points to choose the Canon EF system was that the availability of lenses was huge, native + more affordable 3rd party with no adaptation and knowing more was to come! I didn't have much doubt that, inside of that bigger offering, I would find (probably many) combinations for my tastes.

But... if that moment would be right now, I would at least think twice about going into RF. I would say probably not.

I've been using an R system camera, liking it a lot, do not plan to change system, but even if it's legit from Canon to choose their strategy, I can't see the fact of deliberately choosing the customers to have less options than before as a positive point. And yes, I think it's totally legit to discuss and yes, I hope they notice it somehow.
