Thanks for all of the kind words, Moose. I enjoy challenges, so the old
lenses are always fun.
You might be interested to know that I just received an announcement
from Fuji that they are introducing a new mirrorless camera with IBIS.
I haven't decided to pony up the bucks they would like to receive for
one. I will definitely wait for the reviews. But, from all of your
comments, I have learned that such features can be very helpful. We'll see.

Hi Chris,
I believe that the focal length is still 500mm, but the field of view
is equivalent to that of a lens of 750mm. The glass doesn't change,
but it sees less because of the cropped sensor.
I like the clarity of that description.

Oh, some of my birder patients have abandoned the heavy fast bazooka

I like the good use to which you are putting that shoulder stock, Jim.
And many of the results. I don't think I could do that well doing MF
at those FLs - whether as a matter of ability or patience may be moot,
as I don't have the patience.
I've gone the route Mike describes, and am happy with it. My excellent
Nikkor-Q 200/4, good OM 300/4.5 and 2xA teleconverter wait in the closet.
Long Reach Moose
