I wonder if it comes with a ball hitch and trailer lights? You’d have to tow it like a canon.

I have three long canon Ef lenses: 300, 400, 500. They are great. You should buy this 600 if in the market for one. The cost is well worth it.

Agree with your assessment, the "big whites" are great tools. While similar they all have separate applications. They do share similar high list prices, however buying used or refurbished can make them more affordable. When the shine wears off of mirrorless the prices of this lens will come down also. The latest EF mounted 600mm is an extremely good lens and costs far less. Compare the final results and dare to choose which photo was produced by what lens. "Well worth it" takes on definite parameters of varying amounts that are far ranging.

A used EF 1,200mm sold for $580,000, pretty expensive for used.

Are you kidding me? I’m sure it’s a beast. Perhaps a great way to make it weigh less would be to have 9 people carry each lens element in formation.
When I bought my Sigma 150-600mm lens, my wife said, “if you’re not careful with that….you could either photo the hairs on a fly’s leg on Mars or kill someone quite easily.”

Obviously, this lens can photograph a fashion model’s pores from a mile away!

Canon has made it weigh considerably less, easily hand hold able

Sounds like something interesting when I can't get to the gym.
