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.

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.
