Steve,

>>Yes the 50mm may be a lens you acquire a taste for. I have been using a
50
as my primary lens for a couple years and am happy with the results I am
getting.<<

I'm not sure it's an acquired taste, or a lesson learned. Like most people
who began photography in the 60's and 70's, the 50mm was my first lens (a
Pentax 50/1.4 SM that I still own). After years of trying this focal length
or that, I've learned that there's nothing more versatile than a 50. The
50mm offers performance and versatility at a reasonable price; just not
much pizzazz.
