You keep posting all these stats but you’re failing to realize that 3rd party lenses are EXTREMELY popular in Sony FE mount.
The days of Rebels are over. All that’s left are enthusiasts and pros. And we like options! Not all of us want to drop $2k on an 85mm prime.
Tamron, for example, is having record years. It’s Canon that’s going to be left in the dust if they keep up this mindset. Sony is No. 1 in mirrorless by a large margin.
3rd party E mount lenses are so popular that there is a lack of 3rd party data on Sony's 1st party lens sales/shipment figure. Would disclosing it identify a weakness on Sony's mount?
Just buy a Sony if you are unwilling to wait for a RF 85/1.4. The mount's more than a dozen years old.
3rd party doing well will negatively impact 1st party lens brands. Unless of course the 1st party lens brands are outsource manufacturing to Tamron. If you have a Tamron lens would you be inclined to buy the Sony release when it becomes available?
Sony's #1 in full frame mirrorless bodies because they started in 2010. This ended in 2018 when other full frame mounts were introduced.
