Viltrox representative reports Canon told the company ‘to stop selling all RF mount products’
Two weeks ago, DPReview forum member Stig Nygaard made a post in the Canon EOS R Talk forum inquiring why the product page and all accompanying information surrounding Viltrox’s AF 85mm F1.8 lens for RF mount cameras was no longer available.
Over the following days, various forum members speculated the reason all mention of the product was removed, with many coming to the same conclusion – that Canon must’ve told Viltrox to cease selling the product or face some kind of legal consequence. As it turns out, that appears to be exactly what happened, according to a Viltrox representative.
