Pros: Simply the best in the range - sharp sharp sharp
Cons: None
I've had a couple of copies of this lens in my Nikon days using it with both film and digital.
Build quality is excellent with none of the problems that Canon have on occasion with soft copies. AF is fast, pictures are razor sharp and the colours and bokeh are second to none.
Yes it is expensive and yes it is heavy. This is the only reason I miss Nikon - as good as the Canon version is it isn't as good as this lens.
Should be in every Nikon shooters bag
