Canon seems to be following a pretty interesting strategy with the RF mount… a smart strategy. They know that, for awhile anyway, the only people likely to buy a Canon R will be existing EOS EF (or EF-S) shooters. And probably those with a good kit of Canon glass already.
Nikon launched the Z series with a bunch of pretty ordinarly lenses, just putting those on the Z mount. Canon is so far mostly launching glass you can’t get anywhere else. Which is going to make it easier for EF shooters to buy an EOS R and maybe on one of the cool new lenses. But do that for a few years, and Canon may be more attractive than the many, many other FF mirrorles.
Glass was always the reason Canon and Nikon won, and their new systems are at a disadvantage against Sony and even Leica, if we restrict it just to full frame mirrorless, and hopeless against Fujifilm and Micro Four Thirds if we don’t. There isn’t just one winner, but there may be too many players right now to expect them all to win. I like this Canon strategy. But they still need to fix their sensor issues.
It’l be interesting to see what these lenses are priced at. A bunch of seriously pro-priced lenses for a semi-pro body is an odd move.
just look at the ridiculous length of these lenses LOL.
I would prefer one 14mm/2.4 plus one 20mm/2.4 – both together much less weight and cost compared to these monster glasses.
