We are all aware that not very long ago, all third-party Sony lenses were limited to 15 frames per second burst speed or continuous speed. Beyond that, they were not allowed to do continuous autofocus in every frame. But from the past year, Sony has changed its policy, and all the new third-party lenses coming from Tamron and Sigma support higher frame rates burst cycles with continuous autofocus support. Additionally, the older lenses are also getting continuous updates from the lens makers to make them compatible with cameras like the Sony A9 Mark III.
