Had 2 of them + lenses which I used for weddings, but hated the bulk of them and trying to keep that shutter quiet at churches was impossible. If I still had them I'd probably just use them for my personal work and not professional work. Though I did love that 30mm fisheye. I'd probably get a SWC next time.
