Spoke to a Sigma representative at Focus on Imaging at the NEC Birmingham, yesterday, he informed me that the new Apo 150-500mm F5-6.3 lens will retail at approximately £750, the Apo 120-400mm F4.5-5.6 lens will replace the current 135-400 lens and retail at around £600.
Of course dealers will discount on these prices. I was shown prototypes of both lenses and was impressed, and considering they don't carry the EX label, both are still of a good quality finish and have Optical Stabilizers and Hyper Sonic Motors. They should be on dealers shelves within two months.
Hope this is of some interest.

blimey - a lot cheaper than I expected, should prove very popular.
That sounds very reasonable indeed - wonder just how much the discounted cost might be ? ? ? ? ?
