Well, not "forced" as such, but the local camera shop that stands between me and the Sainsbury's Local had a Sigma 50-500mm in the window.

It had to be done.

50mm:



500mm:



I very much like this lens.

Same shop had a Sigma x2 teleconverter in the window today.

You do realise that you're now on a slippery slope without any brakes. Soon you'll see that there are more advanced cameras, faster cards, carbon fibre tripods...
