Interesting vid though. If you look at the video lenses on B&H you will see that the cheapest of them go for more than the 600L.

Yep it wouldnt be cost effective to invest that much time into making something like a 50mm f/1.4, im sure they have a quicker way for mass production, high end lenses like what you said is a different matter.
