Wonder what the price might be. I don't really have any use for it, but would be a really cool wildlife lens. Or to take pics of the moon
The 500 f/5.6 is $3,000, so I would guess if Sigma makes an 800 f/6.3 that it would be 50% more or $4,500 which keeps it comfortably below the price of the Nikon lens, but that is just a guess. They kept the 500 f/5.6 pretty small at 1,400g. I think they could keep this to about 2,600 kg which is only a couple hundred grams heavier than the Nikon.
