I see Photo Rumors has posted the latest mirrorless interchangeable lens BCN rankings for 2022. Sony #1 with 16.4%, followed by Canon with 15.9%, Sigma and Tamron #3 and #4 with just two-tenths of a percent separating them. Nikon at 13%.
Thoughts:
Let the fights begin!
Thoughts:
- Before declaring Canon d00med, note that we are talking 1/2 percent difference.
- Yes, I know this is Japan only.
- I am a little surprised that Tamron ranks so close to Sigma.
- It would be interesting to know what fraction represents M lenses vs. R lenses.
- I'm kind of impressed that Canon ranks so high in mirrorless given that their lens lineup is not fully filled out yet.
- The same could be said for Nikon.
- The fact that Sigma and Tamron suck up nearly 30% of the market could help explain why Canon is not making it easy for them to use the R mount.
- Pursuing that thought a little further, Sony could be losing one heck of a lot of sales to Sigma and Tamron.
Let the fights begin!
