Canon v Nikon Lenses
I am about to invest in a 500mm lens for bird photography. I have a Nikon D80 + Nikon 300mm f4. Why is the difference in price between the Nikon 500 f4 non VR and the Canon 500 f4 IS so great (£750 in warehouseexpress). I could buy a new Canon 500 f4 + Canon 40D for the price of a Nikon 500 and I'd get IS. I am actually contemplating this even though all my other equipment in Nikon and putting up with all the hassle that will entail. Is the difference down to lens build quality and IQ quality or are Nikon just overcharging us. I had not planned to buy a new Nikon lens but again secondhand Canon lenses look more common on ebay.
Any thought
Michael
