$2000 for the a7R III, $2300 for the Sony 16-35 f/2.8,

Actually that would be 3000 Euro for the a7R III and 2400 Euro for the
16-35 F2.8 on this side of the ocean. Total 5400 Euro which equals 6200
USD.
Can you really get the a7R III and the 16-35 f/2.8 for just 4300 USD in
the USA? That's dirt cheap compared to European prices.

The numbers I wrote were a guestimate based on what I have read.

After a check with B&H.

a7R III body only $2998.00

FE 16-35mm f/2.8 GM - $2198.00

Total: $5,196.00 or 4,509 Euro

If I order both items there for shipment to Germany the total becomes
USD 6626 because you have to add 1371 USD in duties & tax. Then it's
cheaper if I buy them here (6200 USD only).

Seems that in the USA you have lower duties & tax.
