This has to be weighed against the flexibility of zooming of course. Generally, I tend to use the 50mm f/1.4 wide open when the subject has low contrast (low dynamic range), such as in studio flash setups. If the scene has a lot of dynamic range (high contrast), I'll stop down to f/2.8 because I dislike the flare/halation.
So the lens is sharp and has several others strong points and a few weaker areas, but what lens doesn
