Did anyone bother to look at the Sony G 70-200 F2.8? It is 2600 euro. I am not saying it is not worth it because it could be flawless or close to it....But it seems a tad more expensive then our 35-100 or 40-150 F2.8 lenses isn't it.

One would expect a 70-200 f/2.8 full frame lens to be expensive - and a premium quality one even more so.

The fact is that as an old-timer I find ALL current lenses mind bogglingly expensive. Time was, a high quality 50mm f/1.8 from any of the top camera marques would cost little more than beer money. Not now!
