Wow! Let's see...
- More expensive than the combined cost of my current camera equipment: House, three lenses, powerful flash and assorted filters.
- 72mm lens ring adds lots of cost for the extras (compared to a smaller ring).
- Aperture 4 isn't that great for freehand shots indoor or during dusk/dawn.

... other than that it seems very nice!
