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. ;-)a

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 :-P:-P

it takes great pictures

Guess the prices on the coming RF lenses from Canon:

Canon RF 300mm f/2.8L IS USM

Canon RF 400mm f/2.8L IS USM

Canon RF 500mm f/4L IS USM


Canon RF 600mm f/4L IS USM

Canon RF 800mm f/5.6L IS USM

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

Geez, that was easy.

"Your" and "you're" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one.
"They're", "their", and "there" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one.
"Fare" and "fair" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one. The proper expression is "moot point", NOT "mute point".

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.
