DPreview did an interview with Tamron executives at the CP+ show last month.</p>
<p>They asked the following question about, of course, Sony, and got back a rather intriguing answer.</p>
<h3>How important is the Sony customer base to you now?</h3>
<p>Very important. Everybody is going to mirrorless.<strong><em> Canon and Nikon will launch full-frame mirrorless cameras, probably in the near future. When this happens, we can easily make Canon and Nikon versions of our [native] E-mount lenses. The same design could work for [multiple mirrorless mounts].</em></strong></p>
<p>Unpacking this a bit more Tamron is assuming here that not only is Canon and Nikon going mirrorless, they are going mirrorless with a short registration distance camera mount.</p>
<p>As we have already posted today, it certainly looks like Canon is testing future mirrorless cameras, the big question left that just about everyone wants to know – what mount will it be? Will Canon disrupt the industry once again and come out with with a new mount? Will they use the EF-M mount or will they use the fact that they have over 130 million good reasons to keep with the EF mount and stay with the status quo.</p>
