Q: 2. Does this fit a D500 and Nikkor 200-500 mm lens?Also, when not using for steady shot, does this function as a carrier harness, as well?

A: 1. I use it for D80 with Sigma 300-600, so it should be fine with your rig.2. Yes, it functions as an excellent camera harness, super comfortable and convenient.

Q: 3. How thick is this board exactly? I'm looking for something to dry mount ink jet photographs.

A: Hi Brittany -- I use this for mounting traditional photos. It is not rigid, it will bend, but it is solid enough to support your prints as long as you mat and frame them. I wouldn't use it for mounting prints without a mat.Hope this helps.Russ
