Lovely lens for portraits on 3003. Although a heavy combo, the balance is good; the heavy body brings the centre of gravity back into the hand making it easy to 'spin' from landscape to portrait shots especially with the side hand grip. Looks a 'serious' lens too. ;-) Rollei literature used to show the 3003 with the 1.4 85mm planar when in the line-up with the SL66 & 6000 series cameras.
