If you’re ‘not on board’ with Canon’s lens options then switch to another brand that offers what you want.They wont profit at all when people like me eventually switch to Sony.
Don’t make the mistake of thinking that you represent the majority of buyers, none of us does. Canon doesn’t care about you individually.
Canon has a long history of making choices that satisfy a majority of buyers, which is why they’ve sold more ILCs than any other manufacturer every year for the past 20, and why they continue to sell more than twice as many cameras as their nearest competitor.
I’ve been on these forums a long time, and seen many people predict dire consequences for Canon if they did not add Feature X or make Product Y (not surprisingly, those are things the people making such predictions personally desire). Yet Canon continues to dominate the market. But maybe this time you’ll be the one who is correct, and buyers will suddenly leave Canon in droves over the lack of mid-range non-L lenses that have weather sealing.
…or not.
Given that Canon has seemingly blocked 3rd party manufacturers from selling AF lenses for the RF mount, I suppose your next camera will not be a Canon. As I said, Canon doesn't care. Apparently they've already gotten a fair bit of your money anyway.I've always been a Canon shooter and decided to give the R5 a go after the R. But my next camera won't be a Canon unless we start seeing mid-tier lenses from Tamron/ Sigma/Rokinon.
What are your use cases for fast lenses when traveling? Personally, slow lenses are fine for me while traveling, I have lenses like the 28-70/2L and EF 85/1.4L but those stay home, not because of weight/bulk but because slower zooms and TS-E lenses meed my travel needs. I do often take the EF 11-24/4L on trips, which is not fast but is definitely massive.It's not just about price, either. All the fast L lenses are massive. For travel photography, that's a no.
