I did a shoot day with Nikon when it was released, I nearly cried when I had to give it back. I love walking with my gear so the 500 PF would be perfect but you’re right it’s not a cheap hobby.
That said, If you want to do it, go for second hand. You don’t need to spend a fortune to get decent gear. As long as you don’t abuse second hand gear you should be able to resell it for about what you paid for it, that’s if you want to upgrade or decide you don’t get on with it.
