Canon just patented 2 new 600mm lenses.
A ff 200-600 f4.8-5.6 zoom
And a 600mm f 5.6 prime specifically for apsc M mount.
Meanwhile Sony still has absolutely nothing worthwhile in supertelephoto.
Sony only sees fit to make the most common focal lengths that the most average users use.
Until that changes Sony will never compete with real camera systems.
With this one single lens Sony has now given up the entire Sport and Wildlife market to M mount.
And of course they have also given up anyone who shoots Wildlife or Sports, AND anything else.
Thats what Sony doesnt get…you cant pick and choose which customers you want to satisfy.
No one will use Canon for thier long lenses and Sony for thier short lenses.
I expect someone is going to tell you to adapt Canon/Nikon lens.
Long Canon or Nikon lenses…such as the sigma 150-600s do not autofocus on a7rii except when zoomed to short focal lengths
Only the A mount version of the Tamron autofocuses at 600mm, and that lens is incompatabe with any teleconverter except the cheapest version of the Kenko 1.4x…that tc is total crap and there is absolutely no reason to use it.
just stop waisting time and energy with sony 🙂
I am definitely not saying you should do that.
LOL!
You do realize that only 1 in 20 patents that Canon files ever gets productized.
Serious professionals (sport shooters) have little interest in slow lesser quality zooms, nor do they have much interest in slower performing mirrorless systems. That’s the way Sony views the situation right now. And the market for hobbyist photographers looking for a mirrorless lens like you describe is even more scant.
Check out the Camera Store TV annual awards for best and worst. Seems the Canon M3 has focusing issues. You may have a lens with Canon but sports and wildlife guys don’t even have a camera yet
What is more likely?
Canon’s AF getting better over the time?
Sony announcing a long E-mount lens?
I really liked the autofocus on the A7ii though for my general hipster use. Every single shot was a keeper focus-wise. I think that part is really incredible. With a DSLR, it’s 50/50.
Your 600mm addiction has become quite funny in the meantime.
And your blabla that Sony doesn’t have anything starts to p… me off.
You are basically right that Canikon have a lot more Tele and Supertele to offer.
But let’s face it. In this lens- or better say focal length range size really doesn’t matter anymore.
So we have the LA-EA3, and we have TC14 (there is also TC20, but I wouldn’t use it).
And we have G70200/2.8, G70300/4.5-5.6, G70400/4-5.6, 300/2.8 and 500/4.
Using the 500 with TC14 you have the range of 700mm. And if that is not enough – use the TC20 and make it a 1000/8. So what?
For the last couple of days I have been bidding on a Canon 800mm f5.6 is.
Unfortanately I lost the auction.
Serious question. Have you tried digiscoping something like a Swarovski?

Since when do TCs work on adapter? My a7r2 refuses to recognize any lens mounted on LAEA3 with TC1.4…
Off topic; just got my rebate checks from tamron. One for $70 and one for $50, on the 150-600 zoom lens. Such a deal. 🙂
Sony also gave away active Canon (and Nikon) adapters for free when you pre-ordered some of their bodies.
Can’t take a hint?
you can’t adapt M-mount
Do you even know what the M mount is because:
1. We are talking about long teles and M mount is the worst for that.
2. Of course you can use most M mount on E mount. Are you referring to any specific lenses?
to be more precise: Canon EF-M mount
And this is what I was speaking about: http://www.mirrorlessrumors.com/impressive-canon-lens-patent-600mm-f5-6-for-eos-m-mirrorless-camera/
Edit: Sorry – had Leica-M mount not in my mind, when it comes to long lenses 🙂
Canon has been releasing DO patents for ever. With lenses this long, the differences are not consequential in real life most of the time.
