This lens is heavy and durable. The lens hood isn't removable, but since I often lose lens caps and lens hoods, that's not necessarily a bad thing. This lens is also very sharp. I've used it for astrophotography and have been amazed at the results after not playing around with it much. I already had Sigma Art lenses when I had a Nikon and am currently using this lens with a Sony ariii. Can't wait to get this to the beach with less light pollution in a few weeks to see results!
