Now I'm also back - I bought that very lens myself - after a long search
I'm home again - it started in the fifties with a Kodak Retina 1b - with a German lens lens- Schneider Kreutznach - Retina-Xenar 50mm/2.8.
With my Focotar lens in the darkroom I was in par with those snobs with Leica 50mm's or 35'ivers.
Sitting here on my shelf now - In the beginning of the seventies it became a Pentax Spotmatic.
With the K-1 and that FA 50/1.7 I'm home again. Thank heavens. More than in par with the M50/1.7.
50mm is on an FF camera - Perspective naturalis, presence naturalis and with some tiny steps for or backward - the right place that is - both a wide-angle and a sort of tele.
In that way also easy to carry.
Did I say sharp and AF?
Sorry I just own an Epson 3880!
OK - Why not throw in a cropped photo taken on the wall of a no-framed pic of some children 1977.
Light was wrong - shadows under the jaws etc etc - but presence. That is a pic of a pic - still sharp!
Lens either the 50 or with the 2x TC - I don't care. Just had those lenses that year.
They now have 3 plus 4 own kids.

I cannot imagine what You shoot - but 35mm is the normal wide angle for FF.
That and a 85 or 100 mm - nowadays a modern macro - in the pocket is all you need for 95% of all shooting .......however You must move some meters now and then!!
Are You reinventing photographing or trying to get first price somewhere?
(In that way You may skip the normal 50mm and ALWAYS have the camera with You!!! It worked in the sixties and for sure even now! - more keepers - less weight - that is.)
