Sigma already had a 500mm f/4.5 version, but now they see the time convenient for an ultimate f/4 version. The new lens has a tough competition both in Canon and Nikon world with second gen. telephotos with stabilizer and excellent optical quality. At this price point is very hard to win with price, people who afford such a thing at all simply want the best lens possible.
