Canon is well aware of the requests to see third-party lenses that are equipped with autofocus, like those made by Sigma or Tamron, on its mirrorless RF mount, and while nothing is set in stone yet, the company is in active discussions to make it a reality.
Now in 2024, Canon remains the only major camera manufacturer to not allow third-party lens makers to produce fully supported lenses for its mirrorless cameras, but that might change soon. In an interview withat CP+ in Yokohama, Japan last week, the company’s executives stated that Canon is more open to the idea than in previous years.
“So basically, the reason why we have not been collaborating or partnering with a third party is because of our business strategy. Our business strategy says that we are not going to partner with a third party. And the reason why we came up with that strategy is because of the business that we are doing. So our business is that if we have some technology, we try to lock them up inside of our company and try to make a profit out of that. That’s the basis of our business,” Tokura says.
