Rumours say it will cost about $2500.

Comes with a 2 x tele converter changing it into a 400mm - 1000mm F5.6.

I want one for portraits...

yeah thats why tripod lens mounts were invented.

You could just hand hold it bazooka style though.

Translation:

There is no chance that lens will be priced less than $5000. I would have thought it would be valued at over $10000
