Re: Is Viltrox Getting Sued? (No more RF-EF Adapters/Speedboosters/Lenses)
I know for me, back in 1999, all I could afford was a Sigma wide angle, a really beat used 80-200mm 2.8 push-pull and used N90s. As I progressed I bought a used F5 from a Nat Geo photographer and a Tokina 300mm 2.8, then a used Kodak NC2000e (which cost as much as a car). I would not have been able to get going as a college kid without Tokina and Sigma. I shot a lot of great pictures on that Tokina 300mm 2.8 before I got a beat up 300mm 2.8 AF-I from a newspaper (which had no lens hood so I used a rubber drain pipe fitting).
My point is there a ton of people who are aspiring photographers that cannon afford a $2800 100-500 but want to shoot birds. You know what they can afford? A Tamron 150-500 and an R7. Or what about someone who wants to be a portrait photographer and buys a couple of Sigma primes and an R6. You get my point. Sure I have the money to buy what I want, but most shooters I know do not.
