I could never swing such a lens, but Bryan over at The-Digital-Picture paid $7k for a mint version from a Korean seller (this was a few years ago, I believe). So $5k may not be too bad of a price. I guess it's one of those lenses that have a specific fan base, like you say, concert or stage performances and such.
