Capitalism: Both Canon R and Nikon Z mounts protocols are closed
  • Vitaliy_KiselevVitaliy_Kiselev

    Both companies officially confirmed that they will fully close any information on protocols used.

    Industry rumor is that both companies use strong encryption and SSL like handshake to prevent any usage of third party optics for at least few years.
    Proprietary encryption will also allows to sue any third party optics maker.

    Prices on optics for all new systems must set records and from day one this prediction seems to be true.

    Wow - so there will be no adapters (other than the official one) for adapting any electronic lenses any time in the near future in addition to no Sigma or Tamron AF lenses (other than the existing ones for F mount or EF mount). That... is... amazing.

    I guess Canon really likes sending sales to Sony.

    I think some authorized third party lenses will appear, but Canikon will get 30-40% cut of their price.
