Best Osprey-Gasm of the year (So far)

Hmm, it seems I have been away for a while ... Canon ?
That 500mm f4 is a awesome LENS, you really stepped up ... I would love to have the Sony 500mm f4 on my A77II, but I would have to sell my car ... hold on, the lens is worth more than my car.

Guess you have been! Got the 7D mark II at the end of April and about a month later got the 500 F4 (think my shutter is around 70-80K by now, lol). I found a nice used copy for 4200 with extender and lens coat. Still costs twice as much as the car I just bought, lol... I got tired of waiting for Nikon to release a camera designed for what I do. So it was actually less expensive to switch to Canon than buy a used Nikon 500 F4 VR which sell for around 6K...

Kris, you are lucky ... lens with extender at half price.
Sony wants C$14,000.00 for their 500mm, and they are so scarce that there is no such thing as a used one.

I can see why people switch to Canon/Nikon, more availability of used lenses.

Wow, that second one in particular is stunning.
