I've shot flowers and people with primes from 21 through 31 and 40 mm, to 50. They all work fine. I'm looking to shoot product images for my website, flowers, people, street/general photography.
If it's outdoor shooting (and it seems that you are by your post) and bokeh you're after, and you're keen on the 50, then go for it. The 50/1.4 is still an excellent lens, albeit 75mm equivalent on an APSC sized sensor. So while it's not 'standard', it's actually a very good focal length for portraits.

The other thing that you might like to try is a quick press of the 'green button' while in manual mode. That should then give you the approximate settings (aperture and shutter speed) for the shot you're trying to take.
Using that as the base, you can then change both shutter and aperture settings in tandem, to keep the same exposure value. Thus, if you choose to increase the shutter speed, you will need to open the aperture to a wider setting (ie, a lower f-stop number) to compensate, in order to maintain a suitable exposure.
And if you lose track of where you are with all of that, just press the green button again.

Given you now have the opportunity to test these lenses for AF on the K5, perhaps try that next?
At least with the K5, you can adjust AF for individual lenses if required - and without needing a software hack to do so (as with the K10).
