You wonder if people complaining about price have looked at Sony. 24-105 L is the same as Sony, except it's better and at least Canon has less expensive options, including EF mount. 85/2 Canon is on sale so it's less than Sony 85/1.8. It's telly pretty comparable imo. 70-350 is a lot more than 55-250
The Sony lens is quite a bit older so you’d expect the Canon to be better (technically any newer lens should in theory be better).
Once again not everyone wants to use an adapter or bigger more expensive EF lenses.
The 85mm f/2 may be cheaper where YOU live, but not where everyone lives. Locally the Canon 85mm is $998 AUD on sale, Sony FE 85mm is $736 at the cheapest and I bought the Sigma 85mm DN Art for $1155 on sale which is much closer to the Canon price than the Sony. I’ve also owned both those lenses and would prefer the Sony 85mm over the Canon if I’m doing anything but product photography.
Either is $600USD here but the Canon 85/2 is $100 off right now. I'd imagine either are quite good. EF 24-105 STM isn't heavy or expensive. People can adapt the older 24-105 L EF if they want, some do. Much less expensive than the Sony or newer better RF L.
RF 85mm is mainly just good for product/still life whereas the Sony is better for pretty much everything else.
Even if the Canon RF is better optically, I’d go Sony as it’s not significantly better and the price of the EF is a joke. Like many I don’t want to deal with adaptors so it’s native only, hence why third party lens options are important.
Well, they've mostly been the same price here I believe except the 24-105 L is better. Sony is currently on sale. And I'm talking about the less expensive fairly light EF 24-105 STM,not the L. I believe I said that clearly
