Sigma announced a 50mm f1.4 new lens for their Art series…

The lens is absolutely huge! It has 77mm filter diameter and (judging from the pictures with respect to the filter thread) is 4 inches long! Imagine the look on a camera with the hood on?
With such characteristics, they seem to aim the lens to people that would ignore anything (even bulk) to get it! I wonder if the Otus will be under threat from its throne… It looks that Sigma means real business with this one… I wonder what the price will be, it looks like nothing that one would expect from Sigma….
