Yes, it is one of seven 50's in my kit...can we have too many 50's?
I haven't used it at night but the few times I have was mostly for landscape and some closeups, not for true macro.
I had hoped that it would fill the role that the da 35mm limited had when I was mostly shooting landscapes and closeups on APSc. The FA50mm macro doesn't quite work out the same way so that's why I'm on the fence about it...the da*55mm, however has more or less jumped into that role but it lacks the MFD of a true macro so it limits my closeup capabilities.
Anyways in keeping with the purpose of this thread here are a few random 50's shots seen elsewhere on this forum...will post some newer stuff later as I go through my backlog of images.
Helios 44_2 + K01
DA* 55mm + K1
SMC K50/1.2 @1.2 with 25mm extension tube + K01
