Re: Is Viltrox Getting Sued? (No more RF-EF Adapters/Speedboosters/Lenses)
That is not true AT ALL. Sony sells boat loads of their own lenses. Opening the mount creates a big tent that welcomes users of all levels. The same thing is going to happen with Nikon. By opening the mount you give so many more paths to getting new users, and existing ones to upgrade. Not to mention that Sony makes a cut of every one of those lens sales.
I don’t know what data you’re looking at, but Sony is still No. 1 in mirrorless by a large margin.

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
3rd party doing well will negatively impact 1st party lens brands. Unless of course the 1st party lens brands are outsource manufacturing to Tamron.
Sony's #1 in full frame mirrorless bodies because they started in 2010. The 2nd full frame mirroless body brands Canon & Nikon started 8 years later.
