And usually people buy them for very specific purpose.I mentioned the TC simply to point out the difference in quality between the L lens and the consumer 70-300mm. Meaning it's much better.In terms of prices your math is correct, but most of bird photographers already carry a TC in their bag, or prefer 3rd party alternatives (Kenko, Tamron. etc) which sell a lot cheaper.But then again I must re-mention - you cannot compare lenses which are completely different.</blockquote>
