Just what I didn't need, another photography toy, err, I mean tool, to put on my wish list.

It weighs nine pounds. But what do you expect from 500mm f6.3?

My main lens it the 18-200 Nikkor but my favorite lens is the 50-500. I usually shoot at f8 or f11 just out of habit and the lens is amazing at those speeds.

9lbs isn't bad for what it is. Ever carried a 500mm f/4 or a 400mm f/2.8?
