Oh, I didn't notice this until it was pointed out to me...sorry for such a long delay I am still learning about all the pbase functions!

On the lens. I like it for several reasons and I also have found some limitations.
I like that:
1) It can zoom from 50-500 which helps to not have to move to get a good image especially when subjects move such as with birds.
2) It is pretty sharp at f/8 and up and in good light.
3) The color rendition is good (except don't try it for sunsets).
4) Chromatic aberrations are very well controlled.

I don't like that:
1) It isn't that sharp at 500mm wide open at f/6.7.
2) AF is a bit slow with the K10D. I don't know if its the cam, the lens or both.
3) You really need good light for quality images.

The important thing to remember is that for the price (around $1000.00 US) it isn't matched. If I had unlimited funds, I'd probably try the Sigma 300 f/2.8 with the matched teleconverters or the Sigma 500mm f/4.5. Again, these are several thousand more.

All in all, it is a better than average lens.
