It is good, the 50mm is just a too slow for moving subjects in-doors or in forest that doesn't get straight bright light in it.

It is truly a marvelous lens that is so versatile its only negative side is that it is longer than pancakes.

I am angry to myself I let it go (gave it to person who needed it more) and now I am seeking a new one as I really miss it performance from portraits to landscape, pseudo-macro (close-ups) and even outdoor sports.
