The expense that goes into supporting events around the world gives you a idea as to what the actual cost to produce a lens or camera is. Likely less than 1/4 the selling price, probably 1/6th. The huge expenses of distributing, advertising, repairing, and supporting them plus the dealer markup is a lot.
