    For some a 50mm may seem boring, but I absolutely love this lens. It is surprisingly solid. I was expecting a plastic feel, but not so. It has a lot of glass and that glass makes for super sharp images. I also prefer to shoot wide open at f/1.8. It is extremely sharp wide open and has excellent bokeh. Not only do I have no regrets, I am very very satisfied.

    There is a lot of hype around these lenses, and I believe it lives up to them. Incredible sharpness, focus speed, and the background separation is very satisfying, too. Only thing missing is the image stabilization, which would've been a welcome feature for those using budget Z-line cameras like the Z50, but I haven't had any major issues yet, especially since I can use higher shutter speeds at wider apertures like f1.8 or even 2.8.
