Other than "very interesting" and "wot a lucky git," nary a one.  ;-)

I've always liked the 200mm focal length format for some reason -- done a
number of portraits over the years using it, and really liked the results.
F/3.0 sounds like you could get some nice shallow depth-of-field out of the
lens, which of course makes my portraiture interest peak.
