It's not going to be cheap, but you do get a free hernia with every lens...

The Sigmonster is heavy enough and I've felt the weight of one! I'm sure this lens will be well over £4k probably nearer the price of a prime Canon or Nikon 500mm F4. |

I think the cost will eclipse the Canons, and it'll come in at nearer 6-7
