I once owned this lens. Extremely sharp and takes great pictures. But it is very difficult to handle making it only good for the very fit photographer. It is very heavy. The front element size makes it unbalanced. You should have an assistant to help set up on a tripod. The tripod must also be a large heavy duty unit to accommodate the beast or you may even need two tripods. One on the 6x7 camera and the other in the lens. So if you don’t mind the struggle to get it set up and have static subjects for the slow manual focus, then you will be rewarded with great pictures. I paid less then 2k for mine but current prices are now way beyond that.
