I forgot the mention the deep lens hood and cap fitting on it. A very
convenient lens, to be sure.

I had it and the sold it. I like it simply for the esthetics of the lens
itself. I found the aperture ring in the wrong place most of the time.
I loved the lens hood.  As I'm sure most of us do - I remember my great
pics for the camera and lens they were taken with - the bokeh of the
50/2.8 is in my opinion very pleasing.
