I'll compare it with the 600 later, but by itself with my 50 f1.4 in no light (completely dark room) AF is practically instant with every focus point I have played with with my 1Ds MkIII's.
The YN-E3-RT is a bargain when compared to the ST-E3-RT, the only negatives for it are the slightly lower build quality and the fact that it doesn't fire the flashes in Remote Shooting Mode, but it seems I am the only person who uses that feature cos nobody else has mentioned it. But the positives far outweigh those two, the AF assist works well and the Group Mode for pre 2012 cameras is fantastic, I'd pay a lot more for that feature alone.

A follow up to my last post.
The AF assist of the YN is one set pattern and quite bright in comparison to the 600-EX-RT, also being a fixed projection pattern the height of that pattern varies in the viewfinder with subject distance such that at close distances you might find the pattern too high for lower AF points. As the subject distance increases the pattern goes lower in the viewfinder.
The 600-EX-RT has a much broader pattern, or set of lines, depending on what AF point you have selected, the output is also dimmer and less distracting, but obviously bright enough as it works very well.
Using my 50 f1.4 I'd say the 600 AF assist pattern enables faster AF in very dark situations than the YN does, there isn't much to it but along with the variable pattern from the 600 that is tuned to your actual AF point I'd say there is an observable advantage to the Canon. The YN AF assist works very well though.

I just ordered it via ebay for €109, I hope the seller actually does have it in stock... in hindsight, I should have ordered it right away, the af assist is simply too useful even if a flash is mounted on a bracket.

Take a look for "hkyongnuo"- got mine from them.
My unit works well, and I am glad to have it to remote control my 600RTs sitting on other then Canon- bodies.
I will buy the Fuji X100s this year- lets see.

Would this be the link you used?

I don't see a way to order from them on this website yet...
From that site, however, I found this link:
http://en.yongnuo.com.cn/goods-233-Yongnuo+Speedlite+transmitter+YN-E3-RT.html
I've never ordered stuff online from foreign sites....I'm a bit hesitant to give out CC info to a site outside the US, etc....
Anyone know how safe this is?
Thanx,

They must be selling very well. Most sellers, including Yonguo's own ebay store where I bought mine, are now selling them for $299. There are still 2 selling them for around $146.
