It's for those who want:
1. High quality at maximum aperture;
2. The best quality attainable from the camera sensor;

It will probably make a great studio, event and wedding lens alongside the upcoming 85mm. I know a few wedding photographers who use the 50mm focal length extensively. A similar quality 35mm and 24mm would compete a very nice set, and looking at the lens roadmap that just might be their plan.
