Well, you must know the best how you would value this lens...

Personally I quite like it (I have the EF STM version which is optically virtually the same). Nifty fifty was always in my camera bag. It costs nothing, measures nothing, weights nothing but if you learn how to use it, it makes very nice pictures. R6 with its lower resolution flatters this lens. I would not choose it for R5.

Since I own it for ages, I did learn to accept its pros and cons and can easily live with them.

But if you know the lower IQ up to f/2.8 would distract you, then look for something else.
