    Yes, rf did take a nosedive

    How great that there is still EF. I just got myself an r10 since Sony dosent currently have a current aps-c (want that because I throw up from the laggy ones like the 6400 had when I tried it) for around the 600-800€ range.

    Also with tamron and others canon also confirmed that they are already licensing third parties.

    But if you look at half recent ones like the Canon 70-300 is II USM or even a canon 18-55 is II (or Tamron 17-70 f/2.8, which I currently run, they’re perfectly OK for what I’m using them for at least.

      I don’t like EF-S on my R50V, same sensor as your R10.

      I mean, I have what are supposed to be some great ones. The Tamron 10-20 VC, the sigma 30mm 1.4, the Canon 50-250, the 18-55. They’re great on old bodies, they haven’t changed, but on modern ILCs the optics, VC, autofocus and weight does not hold it up at all…

      And they’re all too loud for video.

      A Viltrox Air will run circles around them, for less money. Basically any mirrorless lens will. Honestly I’d rather have an old Sony body + a modern Viltrox or Sirui lens now.

      With Sony bodies, I believe you can change the display refresh rate in the settings, so it doesn’t feel so sluggish. The R50/R10 can as well, but I believe the default is just higher.

      I’m not trying to simp for Sony or anything though, the prices on their bodies are outrageous. But at least they have an open lens ecosystem.
