I got a Nikon 70-300 AF-P DX factory refurb for $130, and it's amazingly sharp and fast focusing. The FX version is even better. The Tamron 100-400 has less competition and is still going for MSRP.
Nikon's own 70-200 f/4 is also getting a lot cheaper especially used so tough competition in this space.
I give EF a decade before they officially discontinue it.
The main cost advantage that Canon had/s over Sony (probably the main mirrorless competition) was their backlog of inexpensive ef/ef-s lenses that could be easily picked up used.
With the speed that they're releasing rf lenses, though, they're quickly creating a new lens mount ecosystem that is RF only, and RF lenses don't have that cost advantage anymore.
Amateurs and prosumers (and probably 1D shooters even less) are what will keep the ef/ef-s lens system supported for at least a little while, because mirrorless isn't a big jump in image quality or anything, and dollars are dollars.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Sorry to bother you but what does F mean and what does it stand for if you don't mind. Thanks again.
