Too weird to live, and too rare to die.

I would definitely say 'go for it'. My husband ~ceethru has had that lens for a year and a half and he absolutely loves it. It is his favorite lens, despite owning a few other lenses, he raves about the 50mm! Here's several links to shots that he took with his 50mm [link] , [link] , [link] , [link] . I guess it depends on what purpose you want the lens for. We definitely like it most for portraits and low light, or anytime that you want a nice shallow depth of field. (you might know all of this already, I just happened upon you by a comment you made to a friend of mine) Here's the one shot that I have in my gallery taken with the 50mm - [link] .

Hope that's helpful. Feel free to contact either one of us if you have any specific questions. ~ceethru knows alot more of the info, I'm learning most things from him.

"It hurts to be on the cutting edge." Someone wrote this, but it wasn't me.

that is one awesome lens. I use 50's on old manuals, film and digital slrs. It is probably the most convenient lens ever. My 2nd love goes out to the 85mm f1.8, but that can't be used in every situation (sometimes there is no space).


anyways, most of my gallery is shot with either the 50 1.4, the 50 1.8, or the 85 1.8.
