Yes they can be expensive, I purchased the 85mm for shooting my brother in law's wedding and he was paying me about $2500 so it paid for the lens and the plane ticket.

I got the 800 on eBay for about $2000 as it was used and it was the previous model to the one Sigma has in their line up now but I have seen no discernible quality issues with whatever this one does not have as opposed to the new one. The Canon version runs around $11,000 new which is kind of crazy!
