It exists.. it's this one here: http://www.shutterbug.com/equipmentreviews/lenses/0802sb_sigma/

Basically a "poor man's" Nikon 500... but will really decent optics. I missed a chance at one on KEH.. I'm still kicking myself for that! You see the non HSM version every so often.. but I'm looking for HSM.

anyway.. still hopeful!

I wish to be a such poor man.
This Sigma cost about $4200 and it's F4.5 not F4.0 !

Maybe look for a 500P Nikkor, they are available at about 1/2 of the SigMonster price.

Nah - I want the autofocus.. worth the extra money.

Used these lenses tend to be found for $2500-$2800.. if you can find one. Sure, it aint cheap but then again - it is Pro level glass and really a huge step above the Tamron 200-500 I have now...

Anyway.. I continue my search.
