Ah, the good ol' nifty fifty. It really is a fantastic lens, probably the most bang for the buck in the entire Nikon lineup if your camera body can autofocus with it.
I really like mine, but I think the only thing from letting me love it is that I'm on a DX body and already own the great 35mm. With my crop sensor I've found I need to back up with the 50 more often that I need to step closer with my 35.
