In order of priority are
1. Sharpness
2. Variable arpeture
3. Useable with a monopod
I dont want a mirror lens, there coatings deminish over time and last but not least is the price, i will consider everything, but nothing too expensive, ie. For what i could buy a new auto focus for.
Must be adaptable to the alpha mount, so m42 and t mount lenses.

Seconded. And the Leica, of course 
You could look out for a 400/6.3 "Wundertute", but there are some dreadful crap ones out there too, so it pays to stick to known ones from Tamron and Soligor, etc.

Attila, this is for the Novoflex lens. The Leica Telyt is more like 250-400 euros for the 400mm.
Cheers!
