Had a go at wrapping my heavily paint chipped Tamron 400mm f/4. The tripod mount looks a bit more involved so left that for now.

I kinda like it

Once you get used to the Metz they're actually fairly straightforward, just the learning curve is a little steep.

Some focal lengths just aren't available new anymore, I recently bought a manual focus 400mm f4 very cheaply the modern equivalent in canon runs around £4000ish...

I think that's a good enough reason

I find the da* lenses hunt less than the Tamron lens, but the Tamron lens has less distortion at the wide end than the 16-50 lens.

I would think the sensor came with the aa filter attached, which they then had to remove, making it a premium product which attracts a higher price.

I have that range well coverd already with fast 2.8 zooms, I dislike variable aperture zooms.
