Regardless of what you've been told, or what you think, a quality 500 mm
mirror lens is usually no more than 3" long and a little less thick (about 82
mm filter size) at the most.
Better still, unless you are thinking about a Vivitar solid CAT mirror, a 500
mm mirror lens (plus hood) weighs around two pounds.
Any PENTAX made 300 mm lens plus a PENTAX 2Xs teleconvertor is going to weigh
in at four pounds or more.
