Have to chime in: I love my FA 50mm F1.4. I use it a lot for taking pictures of my daughter. The shallow DOF helps isolate her in a picture. It also allows me to take picture in extremely low light situations at home. The FA 50 on my K100d renders beautifully warm colours (some might say over-saturated). It is miles sharper than the kit lens so if IQ is paramount there's no discussion.

Thank you Lilly. I've got loads more pictures like this. Around the house the FA50 is on my camera and always nearby.
