It's amazing in low light situations. Very rarely requires flash for evening, or indoor photography. Well worth the cost.

Hi Dan, Kelvin responded (above) with a comment about the Sigma 50mm f/1.4 EX.

I found the Sigma 50mm f/1.4 EX is an excellent alternative to the Nikon version. The Sigma focusses accurately and noticeably faster than the Nikon 50G. Images are sharp and flare is well controlled. The Sigma is more expensive than the Nikon though and not as weather sealed

I'd like to know more about the AF speed of this lens -- do you folks have much trouble taking candid photos with it?
