Would really love to know how many units they sell of all these manual shards.
That does seem a little pricey. You can buy the Canon one for only $600 more.
to maximize sales. Pretty much every new mount since the EF mount was introduced now have adapters to use EF lenses. If they had released it in RF mount (or any mirrorless mount) the market would have been tiny.
