I mean, on Sony cameras, there are artificial limitations placed on third-party lenses, too.

No faster fps than 15 isn't a big deal for most shooters I guess. Are there any other limitations?

But at least Sigma gets to come out with optics like the 35mm f/1.2 that actually challenge Sony.

Or the 85mm f/1.4 DN. I think the Tamron 35-150mm f/2.0-2.8 is eating into Sony glass sales as well.

It's great to have choices. However, when I was interested at one time when the A7IV launched I probably wouldn't have gone third party. For me the one that makes sense and could afford is the 24-105/4 G. Ditto with the R6MKII. If I were in the market for an all-around zoom it will be the RF 24-105/4 L IS. The RF 24-70/2.8 simply is too expensive and the EF 24-70/2.8 L II too old to spend that kind of money.

Having said the above, if there is the Tammy 28-75/2.8 for RF I would look at it seriously. Ditto if there was an RF Sigma 24-70/2.8 ART. BTW, in the Sony FF forum, I don't see a lot of love for the Sigma but on Facebook A7IV group that lens has a lot of fans.
