Re: Is Viltrox Getting Sued? (No more RF-EF Adapters/Speedboosters/Lenses)
The CIPA worldwide shipment of digital still cameras table below covers the years of 1999 (when records were started being kept), 2010 (all time high) & the past 6 years within the context of worldwide population growth.
As #1 interchangeable lens camera brand in an ever shrinking market, Canon sees 3rd parties as cannibalizing their RF lens sales. If they charge a licensing fee it would never provide the exact same margin as them selling 1st party lenses.
Also there are ways to cheat licensing fees if the charge is on a per unit basis. Extra work for their legal department that does not creat meaningful revenue for Canon.
