Sony Lens pricing - 70-200 £2999!

[xps]

I know why I stay with Canon:
If Sony Alpha rumors is right, the 70-200mm 2.8 lens will cost incredible £2999! - what is about 3950€! Or "just " 3000€ if you trust the other source....

Wow. How good will this lens be? How much will be an 600mm lens from them? 20.000?

With a smaller user base, recouping the development costs is more challenging than for a company like Canon with a huge established user base. A high price is a given for this one.

The canon EF 70-200mm IS II USM has been called "The Beast".

I've heard the Sony 70-200 will be dubbed "The Chuck Norris."

That's suk for a7 shooters. For me, can't wait to pre order it.

I'm satisfied with my 2470gm and 85gm.

Very true.

Sony is well known for high prices. They feel that customers will pay more for the Brand Name.
