Interesting stuff! Bokeh looks a heck of a lot better than reflectors. 500/5.6 would not be easy to operate, manual focus and no IS of course. Any idea of pricing?

1 fluorite element close to ~90mm in diameter + 2-3 extra low dispersion elements = can't be cheap.
I estimate the prices to be around that of a Sigma etc. 300 2.8 lens or a bit less.
