Two lenses that are 50mm that aren't mentioed are the
two macros. The 50/2 and 50/3.5, the 50/3.5 is nice
and light and does very sharp macro and normal work,
but it is very slow compared to the 3 normal 50mm
lenses. It goes anywhere from 100-200 bucks with most
going for around 150. The 50/2 macro IMHO is the
sharpest and best of the 50mm lenses since its very
contrasty and sharp and fast. Its also the most
expensive of the 5 50mm lenses going from 300-500 with
most going around 400 or more, but is a more universal
lens. I have a 50/1.4 and have never needed anything
faster so either a 50/1.4 or 50/1.8 would make great
starting lenses. The 50/1.2 is mainly for low light
fast action scenes where you need to freeze the motion
without a flash.
