Probably needs CLA but otherwise is perfect. Big, heaavy, tough as nails, and I love it dearly. I know it is gonna work.... Lenses - my old 180/2.8 is heavy as a battleship, focusses down to about 7 feet, crisp as a spring morning in focus, sharp as a tack. I've used it in rain, sleet, snow, and ever dry, sunny days without problems. I love it. The other lenses are great, but I love my 180. I'd do it all again!
