So, it is over priced because someone else makes something cheaper? Without any thoughts as to if one might be better than the other or if changing systems isn’t more expensive overall? As others have said, this is Fujis hot new long lens. I’m sure if you wait a year or two it’ll come down in price or at least have a sale.

I’m so thankful I don’t use long lenses, they ALL seem expensive to me! But if I did, you damn well know I’d buy the Fuji. It rarely pays to be cheap if you are happy with a system. If that 400 difference is breaking the bank, maybe the new gear should wait in general is my feeling. Also, switching to Sony from Fuji is a complete 180 ergonomics and haptics wise. and not in a good way.

I didn't say it was overpriced. It was a question of opinion to our friends on this forum if they think it's overpriced compared to the equivalent focal lengths from the competition.

I have no intention of switching from Fuji, although if I did I would probably jump to Nikon.

I will be buying an XF 100-600 very soon.
