If 500 mm isn't enough reach a dedicated 2x Tele Converter is supplied with the lens as standard and changes it into a 400 - 1000 mm F5.6. Combine that with a typical APS-size 1.5x FOV crop on a digital SLR and you've got either 300 - 750 mm F2.8 or a 600 - 1500 mm F5.6 (better have a good tripod).

About 8-10kg, looks about a meter long, a foot wide, will cost maybe $10-12k.
Also, did anyone else notice the lack of both HSM and OS? Hmm....
