Cosina officially announces the Voigtlander NOKTON RF 75mm f/1.5
- Thread starter Canon Rumors
- Start date
I suspect people complain about the ‘market share argument’ for precisely that reason. Whether they’ll admit it to themselves or not, they know that Canon’s continued performance means their claims are bogus.
Then, when pushed, they’ll bring up Nokia and Kodak…because somehow they think that citing two examples (from paradigm shifting times) among hundreds of successful companies makes their claims less bogus.

Yeah, the Sigma 85 Art is really front heavy on RF mount, I can confirm first hand; I ended up selling it...
...just to buy the even larger 105 f1.4 Art
now that's a REAL front heavy lens but I recently took a 2hrs studio session with it and got no real problems, if one is used to heavy lenses, and uses a battery grip, you can manage those lenses pretty well. The real test will be of course a long hours wedding with it, I'm sure I'll feel it in my arms at the end of the day.

Most of my lenses are heavy, and even if not especially front-heavy many of them are fairly long and that shifts the center of mass away from the body. I used a battery grip mainly because of the extra mass, and now prefer integrated-grip bodies because they’re more comfortable for me to hold and still balance a heavy lens better.
For me, all-day holding comfort depends more on the balance that the total weight. I’d also add that I find a hand strap helps greatly with that.

Come on, take the Voigtländer 40mm 1.2 instead.Ill keep enjoying my r5+m50+m6ii (with SIGMA efm lenses!
Silly canon thinks locking in users their limited choices builds...brand value? It's so weird. I'm glad they finally stated it plainly to the press, so the canon leg humpers in these forums cant speculate their intentions anymore.
That money that would be spent on more canon gear has already gone to sony, and other oems. IT doesn't have to be, but that's canons choice (strategy).
I'd love to buy a canon 50 1.4 replacement, but i cant. So I'll get something else on a L mount body or whatever. Less money for...the market..leader. Yup.

But I do warn you: Danger to fall in love with the consequence to ignore all other glass around the world!

I just asked a snarky question. Seemed funny to me. Good to see you triggered, though. Cheers.
