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.

500.0mm -- f/8.0 -- (1/500)sec -- ISO640 using the window sill of my van for support
