    More choice is always better, you mentioned two options not available with a Canon body. You are comparing a prime 300mm with an equally...

    It's a 4.3 kg behemoth. The Sony 300mm f/2.8 is only 1.74 kg, and according to the-digital-picture site is sharper with the 2xTC...

    If you like GBH tongues... EOS 1D X II, EF 500mm f/4L IS II USM

    This was also what I suspected. It prevents me from buying an ovepriced M body in order to keep using my M WA and UWA lenses. Too many...

    It’s my second favorite focal length behind 85mm, it was the first lens that I was able to get the shallow depth of field in portraiture...

    The only thing I know for sure that changed is the AA filter. The R used the sensor from the 5DIV, with the old-style AA filter...

    Herons even use them to toss sticklebacks. (5DSR + EF 100-400mm ii).

    Just a little off topic, but still about the sensor. I often adapted Leica M lenses to my EOS R. From 35mm focal length: No issue. But...

    Yesterday, out with the R5ii/RF200-800mm, I was doing just that. A Mallard flew past the hide at its usual breakneck speed and I zoomed...

    While the world as you put it may have "moved on", I've yet to see a Sigma wildlife lens that is actually sharp wide open, let alone...

    Nikon has a strict licensing agreement with Sigma that allows it to make only only lenses complementary to their own and not compete. So...

    I think Sigma lenses like the 35mm 1.4 Art II for ~1000€ would sell like crazy on the RF mount. So my guess would be that Canon is in...

    I think currently the best mount is Z! You can use Z, F, EF and FE! And Sigma has already the data for the mount re-engineerered…. Go...

    My EF 800m f/5.6 gave great photos but due to the size I got rid of it (not helped with arthritis in my wrist). The big zooms are great...

    That's a key point, most users of a 600mm f4, want the flexibilty of a sharp and convienient (relatively) 800mm f5.6, ie popping on a...

    Wow! You have a lot of 135mm primes. Are they not suffient in some way or are you curating a personal collection? That's a lot of...

    It’s not just the frame rate that Sony limits on Sigma and other makers but also it prevents the use of teleconverters.

    "The RF Mount is Complex" - i don't think that's the reason at all. Cannot be much different from RF-S (probably identical) and Sigma...
  • GMCPhotographics
    Why? Because it's new? Sure it's kind of cheap. It looks a bit like an L lens but it doesn't perform like one. If the price point is...

    I'm not a buyer for this. No business would fail to enter a profitable segment because they were worried they might be too successful...

    Sigma has so much great glass, and they just keep bringing out more. Sadly no 28/1.4 yet but recent patents for a 24/1.2 and 28/1.2 look...
