It is big, heavy and clunky. Sharp, but not all that sharp. Terrible ergonomics - focus ring throw angle far is too short for a 105mm manual focus lens, to focus nearer than some 1.5m you have to engage the bizarre 'macro' mechanism. Lens front rotates and it takes huge 67mm filters. It is susceptible to veiling flare so you really need a good hood to keep the contrast up - finding one that is effective over the whole focal range is not easy. It is an 'ok' lens - not a 'bag of primes' and not for my style of shooting.
As for full frame - I won't go into that one ...
