Pros: Relatively small and light, very well balanced and extremely manageable, excellent construction, excellent clutch and long stroke of the focus ring, excellent backlight performance, excellent hood, minimum vignetting, absence of distortion, monstrous opening especially in relation to the era in which it was presented. The sharpness is really very good at the larger apertures, excellent from 2.8 onwards, drops a bit at 11 and 16.

Cons: Basically no one because, in all honesty, in the 70s, 80s and 90s there was nothing better.

Opinion: I bought it mainly because using only slides of low sensitivity it was extremely useful in low light conditions, where in fact it provides an extra gear, also I found it excellent in half-length portrait, especially in indoor shots with only ambient light. It is also excellent in the American plane, for the portrait in the foreground instead you have to be a little careful about possible distortions on the face, in these cases in fact I find 100 or 135 mm preferable.
