I also have noticed that Canon lenses are on the rise, look at the price tag of the new 800mm f/5.6, I would sooner go for the 600 f/4 with a 1.4 TC. I too have a 500mm f/4 and would not trade it for all the rum in the Caribbean; when I was in the market for the 500, I was a Nikon man, I looked at the Nikon 500 f/4 and found it to be more expensive than the Canon 500; the Nikon 500 did not have IS/VR, so I got the Canon 500 with a 30D body. I now am a full Canon man with no regrets so far.
