Does anyone know if Canon officially claimed that they will not tolerate any 3rd party lenses for the RF mount? I mean...the R was released many years ago by now and we still have no native mount alternatives other than Canons own superexpensive glass. Or the cheapo kit-alternatives which seem to be mediocre at best.
This may sound weird but if this continues I might consider another system and I would hate that. I love what Canon is doing right now in the camera department but if they are going to charge $$$$ for the lenses and force me in that direction, I don't know. Furthermore, I happen to like the warmer rendering from Sigma and Tamron more than Canons own look so there is also that.
Of course there is the EF-RF adapter but both Sigma and Tamron have ditched the EF mount it seems so the options are getting slimmer each time they release a new lens for the other brands.
Cheers and enjoy your friday!
You will be labeled and slaughtered and called bad names for asking this question in this forum.
No, just correctly criticized. But some people think that no-one should disagree with them.
My simple solution was to start dipping into the Sony FE mount system. For the first time in more than a decade, I am now shooting with two camera brands. And my last spend of $2000 was all on Sony (lenses).
