So me again with lens question

I came across something which said that the canon R7 , at time of writing , only had three native lens for the R7 which is a APS camera.

I take it this means only three APS lens , the others which are RF lens are also full frame ?

so am thinking that I see one of the advantages of a APS camera is lighter lens, but if your going to be using FF RF lens due to lack of APS lens , why not just get a FF camera

if your going to be using FF lens on a APS camera , what is the disadvantage

thanks
 
so having a small pool of APS lens for the R7 is making you use FF lens

must now go and see how many APS lens the Sony a6700 has
 
The main reason I bought the R7 is the reach given the 1.6 crop factor. For bird photography, even with long lenses, this is a benefit. I also have FF cameras which I use when reach is not a factor.

Sigma and Tamron are due to release some RF-S lenses later in the year.

Have a look at the lens database on Dyxum - I'm don't think it's being maintained as well as it was for A-Mount, but it makes a reasonable stating point.
You can filter by E-Mount and APS-C format, but need to check zoom, prime and macro separately

I own a R7 and Sony A6600 both for slightly different reasons because of Canons limitation !

I brought the A6600 because a the time Canon had no Eye Detect APSC mirrorless camera, and the sigma make a 18-50 f2.4 lens on E mount. This lens is a cracking lens and I am very pleased with it.
When Canon eventually released the R7 I use my EF L grade tele lenses via an adapter, and all work fine.

However, Sigma have announced the e mount 18-50 f2.8 will be available on RF mount some time in July 2024, and I will be buying it for my R7 as a walk around lens.

Your assumption is correct, unfortunately the answer is much more complicated.

Nigh on every lens produced since for the EF mount will work perfectly on your camera, and every EF-S lens too, via the adaptor.

There's a current shortage of RF-S mount choice, but that will not be true by the end of the year as both Sigma and Tamron are bringing out RF-S lenses.

The problem with the sweeping statement (no matter whether true) is that it misses much nuance. The 'lack' of native lenses, doesn't limit your camera, unless you decide to only use native lenses, and only then if you're only looking at now.
