Curiously a search of this forum yielded very little hands-on information about this lens.

Looking to use it on 8x10 for 20x24" enlargements in B&W. I have the W 300mm and W 150, and in spite of the size and weight of the 300, it is my favorite 8x10 lens, The 450 is not that much heavier.

Maybe I'll just have to buy it and report back if no one else has one.
