You are right. The bare Sony 100-400 f4.5 GM lens is priced at around USD 4,300.
A Canon 100-400 f4.5 L lens with a built in 1.4X converter would probably cost $5,000 for a bare lens because of Canon’s self defined superiority plus an additional $1,000 for the internal teleconverter.
My hoped for price point of $4,750 is more likely to be around $6,000.
It will be interesting to see what Canon brings to the market in the next 6 months and how it competes with Sony.
I love my Canon gear but there is a point of no return for wildlife photographers that is approaching rapidly.
The day after I potentially dump my Canon equipment, I am absolutely certain that Canon will offer an amazing 200-600 f4.5 to f5.6-f6.3 L lens.
