Of course it's expensive. It's a cinema lens.

Yes, the T2.9 aperture should have revealed that!
… and German made.

Light is free… capturing it is not!

It is all a matter of volume.  If you can only make a few lenses to meet demand, then the price is going to be outrageous.

But would that be THAT much better than Japan made 70-200mm glass?

This is something that I'm not too sure anymore but fmw
has a big element with the volume consideration.

Go use a good Zeiss lens. Then come back.

As for comparison to Japanese manufacturing prowess, yes. There are other places in the world capable of creating superior products.

Finally, this is a cine lens. That is fundamental. If you want to compare to a Japanese-made cine lens, fine. The Canon T4.4 is $5000. Let's crank that up to T2.9 and then compare. Anything else isn't apples to apples.

This lens is not outrageously priced.

They make it in m43 mount. I think I will get one for my Olympus. :lol:
