Re: What's the point of a 50mm? Or rather, where does a 50mm shine?
Many find 50mm boring. I like the focal length for portraits and architecture because it shows things as I see them. For a full-format portrait you can simply use the crop mode on an R and there is enough resolution left. For a few years, the 50 Planar was my "always on". Now I often use a 40/2 when I want less weight.
Everything with 50mm and the last picture was taken in APS-C mode:
