The blur generated by the 50/2 looks good for me. A nice balanced level of subject isolation vs blurred background/foreground.

Lately I'm seeing to much blur as a cheesy effect to pump otherwise boring images/subjects (google for "russian mother photographer" and you'll see what I mean).

Elena Shumilova????

She is an architect by trade and uses a 135/2 on a Canon 5DII plus the occasional 50/1.4.

I have a lot of time for her as she just followed her children growing up in rural Russia. Frosty windows in a country barn might be cliché as, but hardly ever as elegantly executed
