there is a lot of talk that with canon not allowing 3ed party R mont lenses, saying it will lose canon customers and it s not a good business model, so i wondered how many folks have left canon for this reason

I bought into the r ( r5 plus r bodies )system ( before that dual riv sony and a6500 with mostly can ef  plus 200-600 sony) for a combination  of weight focal length for birding and landscape photography ( I have the 800mm rf ,100-400 16mm and 24-105 rf l, plus 1.4 and 2x tc as well as rf speed boosters and rf ef converters .

but I'm getting fed up with canon's studdorn attitude to third party lens maker ( when nikon z system is now an option to get tamron lens.

I'm going to wait a little then change bodies for sony probably .

refusal to allow third party makes lenses is a deal breaker at this point

aned a historical mistake.
