well built, robust and meets or exceeds in image quality

with the Pro TL body and the motor drive and a TTL prism, this lens adds more weight to your setup with the leaf-shutter in the lens..so fatigue can be a problem.

If you want TTL fill flash..it's an absolute must have. I use mostly for weddings and modeling and it's a pro lens all the way. If possible, use it with power winder grip and shutter cocking cable for maximum ease of use. It's so sharp, I use a softening filter with models and brides to soften the image a tad. Don't want every blemish and pour to show. Highly recommended if you intend to make a living in medium format with people photography outdoors.

Have to remember to recock leaf shutter on lens if not using power drive.
