It's certainly triggering some of my collector's genes I'm obviously being punished with. But this thing in front of and on top of the camera a speedlite is something like 3-4 kg in total. And still not close to MF quality although "portrait work" comes with a brighter accent on "work".
They deliver the tripod foot, but also a protection ring for people preferring to shoot portraits handheld. Can't be more than half a dozen... The hood is made of carbon plastics and has a screw to fix it. I already found that screw cumbersome at the 150-600 Sports and I don't think, this would be different. But worse: When I look at the two sample pictures, I miss a lot of sunshine, of front light, even direct one and I catched myself thinking "the 135/1.8 has no worse bokeh than this one. And comparing the MTF doesn't show a clear advantage of the 105/1.4. Not. At. All."
Showcase? Yes, very probably.
