The defocus image control is fucking awesome. You don't know what you're missing until you actually use it. You can't get those melty backgrounds with the subject still in perfect focus any other way. It works really well with a polarising filter for outdoor portraits.
Also, the DC 105mm is sharp as fuck wide open, has almost no falloff in the corners on FX, and has incredibly flat focus across the frame. It's an amazing lens. (I think the DC 135mm has a bit more falloff in the corners, but it still has all the other benefits.)
