It's a stupendous macro lens -- world class.
Where it falls down for general-purpose photography (IMHO) is
autofocus speed. Especially in dark conditions, it will sometimes
search all the way out, then back, which is an annoyance for street
shots and portraits, where you want zippy autofocus.
Since I got the 12-60, I don't use the 50/2 for anything except macro.
But it does cost a lot less than a 12-60, and if you aren't following
action, the occasional auto-focus foibles should not be too much of a
bother.
