to be frank - I'm thinking of going for the 16-55 - everyone seems to rate it - despite weight and even though its more expensive - I'm not sure the 50 gives me much..if i didnt have access to a friends 56... it might be different.

If you have access to a 56 then the 16-55 makes sense

Having both I probably use the 16-55 20x more than the 56mm   The 56 is magic but a very specialized tool IMO.
