My apolgies to all Canon M users. My dislike of Canon prices are related to the new RF system. I do still have a 7d mkii which i think is superb. I also had at one time a M5 with a couple of lenses, all superb and at a good price. My rants of the full frame RF still stands.

They're all super expensive. Look at the prices of one of the mainstay lenses, 70-200 2.8. The current Sony, Nikon, and Canon mirrorless lenses are basically same price, although, the Nikon is currently on promotion. Are they all overpriced? I don't know, but it's safe to say they sure cost a lot.

Sony and (to a lesser extent) Nikon at least have some third-party offerings to give a bit cheaper options. For example, for Sony there is the Tamron 70-180 f/2.8 for $1100. It's on the Nikon lens roadmap too, though it will probably be a Nikon branded version like they've done for a couple others and marked up a couple $100 at least to start.

Of course, that's still an expensive lens by M standards, but full frame 70-200ish f/2.8s always are.
