It really depends on what you're comparing. That Sony lens is eye wateringly expensive, but there are plenty of cheaper f2.8 options for various systems. Look at the Tamron and Sigma lenses available for DSLRs, especially what's available used.

I paid about twice as much for my Panasonic 12-35mm as I did for my Sony 16-50 f/2.8 for APS-C A mount. The price difference between the cheapest used Panasonic 35-100 I can find and a Sigma 70-200 HSM is even greater.
