No guess needed: "Higher than an EF equivalent lens."

I'm all for it if it means that the price of an EF 600/4 III will drop precipitously.

But unfortunately for you, millions of EF mount camera users are not instantly abandoning their EF mount stuff, dropping prices of EF precipitously...EF gear usage will continue for decades. There are folks still using FD mount cameras!

Yup

Im not about to spend big $$$$$ for an RF super tele....especially when I can get great EF super teles for a great price right now

I got a 500F4 version 1 MFG'd in 2008 for $2000......and it is a 9 condition lens

Exactly why would I want to spend 12K for a RF500 f/4......explain that to me

it takes great pictures

15 to 25 % more than the current MSRP of the current corresponding EF lenses.

Geez, that was easy.

The used prices of the EF 600 f4 v3 will drop precipitously, but it will take over a decade for that to happen. . I mean, I don't expect the price to come down to an affordable $3,000 to $4,000 point until somewhere between 2030 and 2035. . Even if thousands of people sell their 600 f4 v3 lenses, the demand for those used EF lenses will be extremely high, which will keep prices high for many many years.

Mike, B&H has that lens on Valentine's Day sale, only $9000! Or they have a used one for $6750!

More than I make for my yearly salary.
