Here are the pros and cons from our full review:
Pros
- Great build quality
- Fast autofocus
- Accurate and life-life color

Cons

- When connected to a DSLR, it can take up a lot of room in a camera bag – more so than normal
- Pretty pricy. But, if you’re a professional photographer then you’ll justify the purchase
