The biggest money-makers in my studio are the GFX-50s, and the Schneider APO Makro 120mm F/5,6 Digital. Because the combination - in between which a Cambo Actus GFX and Cognisys StackShot 3x are sandwhich - is far from pretty, the Schneider must wait for its day in the sun.

Sinaron Digital Macro 120mm F/5,6 and extreme movements
Nailing focus and lighting for every page of a hundred-image magazine. Doing it all in a day or two is sweaty work.
