Let’s see the big surprise, but somehow we were expecting some sort of move from these third-party lens makers since they were completely silent on Canon Fullframe Lenses release.
According to Yamaki-san, the goal is to launch all of their current APS-C lenses in RF mount by the end of this year. Moreover, he added that they currently don’t have a plan to release full-frame RF mount autofocus lenses, but “they will do their best” to meet customers’ needs.
They Don’t have a plan or they are not allowed by Canon to do so, the big problem is they are not allowed to make full-frame lenses yet, Since, Canon feels that their full-frame lineup is well-stocked at this moment and doesn’t need further or additional support from any third-party maker.
Another big issue is that if Canon allowed third-party lens makers to create full-frame lenses, there would be huge price competition that Canon would have to face. These third-party lens makers would likely drop some of the best budget constant-aperture zoom lenses they already have for the Nikon Z mount as well as the Sony E mount, which would likely diminish the sales of Canon’s premium L series lenses that cost two to three times more than these third-party lenses.
I am not questioning the quality, but they do give you budget options, especially Sigma Art lenses that come at an affordable price and offer great optical quality without a doubt.
This move by Canon is certainly going to disappoint a lot of Canon full-frame camera users out there, especially those who have purchased Canon R series cameras at a super budget price. Now they have to pay a premium price, otherwise, they have no option left but to get a DSLR lens with an adapter or choose pricey Canon full-frame lenses.
