Canon EOS R mount compared with Sony, Nikon, Leica
I can’t say how accurate this comparison is but I think it’s fair to assume that it gives at least an idea about how these mounts compare.
The Canon EOS R, four native lenses, and more gear is going to be announced tomorrow.
Stay tuned.

Dustin Abbott completed his comprehensive review of the Sigma 70mm f/2.8 Macro ART lens.
From the conclusion;
[…] the Sigma 70mm f/2.8 Macro | ART is a somewhat quirky lens. It deviates from the path established for the ART series on a number of levels, and also deviates from the modern standard of what a macro lens should have (Image Stabilization, Internal Focus, etc…) The one area where it is very much a Sigma ART lens is in the optical performance, where it delivers as good a performance as I’ve seen from a macro lens outside of bokeh that is a little busy in some situations. I’m less impressed by the decision about the focus motor, at least on DSLRs […]
Dustin Abbott’s review comes with a huge set of sample pictures and analyses all aspects of the Sigma 70mm f/2.8 Macro ART. For those who prefer to watch, the video review below tells everything.
