Had the EF version, seeing them for about $700 in excellent condition in the used market. Would love to have the RF version, it's a lot less $$$ than I initially thought it would be.

$700.00 is what i paid new in 2005 (give or take $29.95) and i belive it's new price has been more in that range than anywhere near US $1k for most of it's lifespan.
It was always the most affordable, best bang for your buck L prime. Priced similar to f/4L zooms, but with IQ close to lenses costing 5x.
This old L performs so well I don't see any reason to look at a newer version personally, but I can certainly imagine some will be swayed by IS, and the RF mount for those that don't have the EF. Not to mention the overall better specs.
But this old lens and I have been through a lot together, and until it dies, or won't mount, I'll just keep using it.
. I think sensors are so good that it really doesnt matter where is lands with a 1/400 shutter on the old 135L
