Viltrox Says – “Canon asked us to stop selling all RF mount products” But Why did Canon say so, as per Viltrox Canon also asked other third-party lens makers to Stop making RF Lenses, you can see the chat below
So, not only viltrox Canon also asking other lens makers to stop selling RF lenses as above mentioned in the chat
Now, this can only happen in these two possible condition
1. Canon wants to add a license layer, they will open the mount but third-party lens makers will have to pay the price if they wish to make RF Lenses
2. Canon wants to stop the sales of third-party lenses, it is impacting RF Lens sales figure
Sony’s gotta be laughing right now. We all know Sony has an open E-Mount, Sony shared all the AF algorithm details back in 2018 with Sigma, Samyan, Tamron, and Zeiss to help third-party lens makers make perfect lenses for E-Mount system-based cameras. Why did sony take such a step?, of course, it will hamper Native Gmaster lens sales but in return, if consumers get a lot of lens options for full-frame and APS-C Mount cameras, and hence they will prefer the Sony system instead of others. In the same way, Sony Fuji also opened their lens mount and now we also have multiple lens options in Fuji at variable price ranges.
Nikon doing Re-branding stuff with Tamron
Nikon has entered into re-branding with Tamron, they jointly announced the Nikkor 28-75mm RXD Lens. But, the entire rebranding process is very slow and we have only one lens till now.
BTW, What we would like to see is that Canon and Nikon should move on the same path and they should give more freedom to consumers, so we can buy lenses of our choice and budget.
