It Seems Canon Doesn’t Want Viltrox To Make RF Mount Lenses

Does Canon not want Viltrox to manufacture lenses for the RF mount? Seems so.

It started with a user in the DPReview forum who posted a chat with Viltrox. Apparently, as you can read below, Viltrox has been “told by Canon to stop selling all RF mount products“.

Now, there is a follow up to this. So far Canon did not release any official statement. But now Canon Germany answered to German Photographix Magazine, and Canon said (machine translated):

“SHENZHEN JUEYING TECHNOLOGY CO.LTD, manufactures auto focus lenses for Canon RF mount under the brand name “Viltrox”. Canon believes that these products infringe their patent and design rights and has therefore requested the company to stop all activities infringing on Canon’s intellectual property rights.”

So, it’s about patents and intellectual property. Anyways, not cool at all dear Canon. Change your mind asap, please.

Canon EOS R6 Mark II On Its Way, Coming With Stacked Sensor?

A new rumor surfaced from the interweb of more or less silent murmurings. The Canon EOS R6 Mark II might come soon.

Twitter user how2fly posted…:

The prototype of the EOS R6 Mark II is already in testing, and it shares something with EOS R3: a STACKED sensor.

That’s not that unreal. It wouldn’t be the first time Canon introduces a new technology on a flag ship camera, and later on brings it to more affordable gear. The Canon EOS R6 is more than two years old, and might be in Canon’s update radar. If it gets the stacked sensor of the EOS R3 it would be a smart move by Canon.

how2fly was right in the past, so he or she might be right again. Let me know what you think.

Stay tuned.

Here Is The Canon EOS R5 OPTIMUS PRIME Transfomer Version

View Post

Want a Canon EOS R5 that converts to one of the popular transformers, an OPTIMUS PRIME version? You can.

This is a toy product, but someone might want it. From Canon Japan (machine translated, emphasis mine):

In the Transformers’ annual collaboration project, a product that transforms into a robot from the mirrorless camera “EOS R5” released by Canon Inc. has appeared.
The camera state “EOS R5 mode” is reproduced at 80% scale of the actual camera, and the camera body and lens can be removed like the actual camera.
Although it is a toy product that cannot be photographed, it has a finish that reproduces the details of the main body design.

In addition, in the robot mode “Optimus Prime R5” state, it has a symbolic design with a lens on the chest, and the arms are red and the legs are blue, which is the original color of “Optimus Prime”. Matrix and EOS R5 handheld (Mini EOS R5) are included, which is proof of the leader, and can be held in your hand.

More information can be found here and here too. Will be available at the beginning of 2023.
