This lens seems to be quite a hefty build. I have owned it for a little over two months. I have used it to shoot a wedding as wells as two engagements. I cannot attest to any weather proofing. However, for everyday use, this lens was built to be able to handle the use of a serious shooter.

UPDATE

I have a few things to add. First of all, this lens is so noisy. Using this for weddings is actually hard for me to recommend. I am sure if I had calibrated this lens to my camera body, I wouldn't have had such a horrible time with front focusing, however, the noise factor of this camera is hard to get by. It really is that loud. Maybe if you are using this as a general purpose lens in normal situations, this lens is great stopped down. However, I think I will need to specifically say that I do not trust this lens in any situation that might necessitate high quality output.
