In examining the weights, the Canon 400 f2.8 and 600 f4L are weight wise less than the Canon 500 f4L. Is the 500 f4L (other than cost) examining the weights, the 400 f2.8 and 600 f4L are weight wise less than the 500 f4L. Is the 500 f4L (other than cost) still competitive? What niche does it fill the other two don't.ve? What niche does it fill the other two don't.

The 600 is still longer and the 400 still bulkier. For travel the 500 is, despite weight, easier to carry and fit in carry-on luggage. It is also cheaper than either mk3 lenses. ;)
