This lens makes a great general purpose normal lens, as the very high optical quality for the macro uses leads to excellent sharpness and freedom from abberations at distance. The only drawback to the lens is its rather slow (for a 50mm prime lens) maximum aperature of F/2.8. As I usually shoot in sunlight or with high-speed films (or both!), this has never been a problem for me, but others may prefer a faster maximum aperature.
I've shot with this lens with all its aperatures from wide open to F/45 and found, in my subjective eyeball test (I look at prints and slides), that the optical performance varries very little over the aperature range, being uniformly excellent.
Overall, a fine lens for an even finer price.
