Not sure what you are getting worked up about up there but, to me, its pretty simple. Stop the lens down a bit (picture 1) and you will get a plethora of sharpness with some very lovely bokeh. On the other hand, open it up all the way if you want a very surreal and dreamy rendering (picture 2 & 3). You get all the sharpness you need at 1.4. No one ever said everyone in a picture has to be in focus. Snow white\'s head is not in focus in the last one and I am perfectly ok with that. I would say that going out to shoot is more important that worrying about how sharp your 50ishmm is wide open.
