Maybe now with the new converter they have a reason to bring out the A-mount lenses.
As an aside, during my travels throughout Asia, I never once seen a birder...plenty of street, documentary, landscape and architecture photographers, but not one birder.
You just haven't been going to the right places then
If that's what bird photography is all about...no thanks.
that's not bird photography, it's more like a social club of birders. I am willing to bet $$$ not a single keeper will come from a scene like that
Negative Nelly...one place where bird eye AF will come in handy is not having to go into manual focus if the there are lots of branches in front of the subject. Bird photography is more than an isolated bird with blown out background.
Don't get me wrong. Not negative, I am just saying I personally wouldn't spend $30K on gear and spend my day to come up with a cluttered noisy under-exposed snap shots from under the belly of a bird 50 yards away on top of a tree.. If one find satisfaction in that so be it, no objections, after all what makes us happy is what we want.
BTW cluttered branches is one scenario where the eye AF doesn't actually work well.
