    Fantastically described scenario. Agree 💯% but I've never thought to articulate it in this way. I also often need to shoot at higher...

    I didn’t forget, I chose to omit them from consideration due to insignificance. :cautious:

    :eek: You forgot Pentax :ROFLMAO:. Pentax sold 10.000 dslr’s in 2024, which is 2/3s of the number of dslr’s that Canon sold in a week ;) .

    The text above the MTF curve isn't correct: "The MTF looks very impressive, considering this is a f/1.2 lens." And my comment about the...

    Not bad just selling 5 models worldwide. 4000D, 2000D, 250D, 5DmkIV and 1D X mkII

    Too bad the DG II version doesn't come in EF mount, which is easily adapted to RF. The old version did come in EF mount.

    I own the 16 and use it with an R7 and with an R50V on a tripod. What does the 16 f/1.4 not allow you to do that the 15 f/1.4 will do...

    CIPA says there were 690,000 DSLRs shipped in 2025. In 2024, about 92% of DLSRs were sold by Canon (790,000 vs. Nikon’s 70,000).

    "Canon is still selling a lot of DLSRs, having sold somewhere around 600,000 of them in 2025." Where does that estimate come from...
  • neuroanatomist
    Canon reports their actual unit sales and an estimate of the overall market, and the latter aligns closely with what Nikon reports and...

    Repeating previous replies to the same question, the RF 600/11 and 800/11 are DO lenses so no, Canon has not ‘given up on DO’.
  • T
    Has Canon given up on the DO technology? An updated 400 f/4 for RF mount and a 600 and 800 would put them squarely on par with Nikon...

    Canon makes us very easy to buy a second system or switch completely! Nikon could be the best choice with adapting Sony, having nice Z...

    As Neuro reminded us above, a 600 f/5.6 is essentially the same size as a 300 f/2.8, which can be a good guide - the MSRP of the last EF...

    It's quite relevant what the RF mount (increasingly) doesn't get, so thanks for posting. According to reviews it generally beats the...

    I know, that kept me with my old 4.5/500. Btw I once had the opportunity to test the 300-800 "Sigmonster" on an exhibition, and I wasn't...

    Not so sure... If it hadn't been for the TS-E 24 II and 17, I would have bought the Nikon DSLR and not the EOS 5D III in 2014, and never...

    I don't think heat is an issue, given there's plenty of things that I can do on my R5 that generate a lot of heat; cooling is vastly...

    Shooting fast flying birds like puffins was quite easy with that lens - because of the lack of IS you hadn't remind yourself to switch...

    Such significant lenses are absolutelly worth reporting. Thank you, and I hope we will see an opening of the RF mount at a certain point...

    I have the 16, 23, 30 and 56mm RF-S lenses. Actually, the only Sigma RF-S lens I didn't yet have was the 12mm. Now the 15mm F1.4. The...

    The 200-800 is a real fun lens, much better than I expected when I bought it, but it needs a lot of light. The RF 100-300mm f/2.8 isn't...
  • S
    Agree but $6k doesn't really look a "mid price" to me (that's the Sigma 300-600 f4!). Around $4k would be more ok.
  • mimbu
    Sigma has the 17-40/1.8 so a bit more separation from that makes it more attractive to a wider range of people. Also while 16x1.5=24mm...
