excellent macro and portrait lens

According to the general many positive opinions on 50mm f2.0 I could not resist at Christmas and have the lens mainly gained me for macro and portrait photography and am very excited. The lens is used on an e-5. In particular, the high initial aperture allows for a very nice Freistellungseffeke to another good exposure times even in low light. For Portrait almost a bit too much telephoto (but is a matter of taste), ultimately the panel was the deciding factor against the 35mm f3.5 though the price difference with factor 3 is of course considerably. The reproduction ratio 1: 2 and the focal length of 50mm go for me perfectly fine on the FT Crop is still 1: 1 and you get very close ran. For more I use the Sigma 150mm, which is, however, significantly more cumbersome and at 2: 1 at the Crop is then even without a tripod nothing and just the handiness of the 50mm f2.0 I see as a great strength.

Here are the pros and Wieders as a list:

Pro:
+ Very good imaging performance already at full aperture: very nice contrast and detail reproduction, very soft background blur
+ Very light and short, is with the E-5 well in the hand, which hand-held shooting in the macro range definitely an advantage (with the Sigma 150mm which is partly very wobbly) and quite inconspicuous in public action
+ Manual focus-by-wire works with the large focus ring very good
+ Quality workmanship (expected at the price certainly)

Cons:
- Focus engine loudly (certainly not up to date with ultrasonic drives, but is at the age of development)
- AF in low object contrasts partially fail (the 12-60mm SWD runs better on the E-5)

Visually and by handling her top, due to the counterpoints 1 star deduction.
