Wide Aperture Prime Lenses (Patreon)

With a lot of new prime lenses being announced it is probably time for me to update 2 pages that appear in camera-specific eBooks.

What I am learning, as I update these tables, is the continuing lack of wide-aperture prime lenses from Canon and Nikon for their mirrorless systems. This wouldn't be so bad except Sigma and Tamron have not made many lenses available for Nikon's Mirrorless Z-Mount  and Canon's Mirrorless RF-Mount. It's also strange as Nikon criticised Sony E-Mount as being too limiting for designing wide aperture primes but still only have three in their own lens lineup.

What is also become apparent is Sigma's lenses are starting to be designed to be a little lighter and without increasing in price. If absolute sharpness is not high on your list then Samyang lenses are heavily discounted on sites like B&H and are both cheap and light. AF has been added to some of their older MF-Only designs. It's continuing good news for the E-Mount platform.
