Excellent build quality and sound. Has handling noise but most mics do.

My field interviewing mic for years now!

The MD46 has been my primary interview mic for at least 8 years now. It was originally designed for use by stadium sideline reporters, and is perfect for interviewing people in noisy environments. The pickup design is specifically designed to minimize sound from off-center and more than 18" (or so) away. I retired my original MD46 a couple of years ago because the exterior was scratched and beat to hell (but still produced excellent audio), and immediately replaced it with a new MD46. Note that there's an omnidirectional version (MD44) that is equally bulletproof and would be good for recording natural sound in the field (this one only picks up what you point it at).
