Spectacular lens in every respect except that it tended to stay home a lot. I prefer the 50/1 for indoor work, and the 90/2 for everything that requires more length. The 75 is as big and heavy (at least) as my older 90/2, so it's not something one carries around casually. Vey cool lens, but I sold mine.
