Hi Kelvin and all, I should say "almost anything", because "anything" would be a lie, although not far from the truth. I usually have with me the K-1000 with its 50/1.7, plus a 28 and a 100 in the bag, but the 50mm usually is my first approach to a subject (often the only approach). Every time I have to shoot in available light and/or I prefer to bring only a lens, the 50mm is my choice. I like it for full/half size (lenght?) portrait too (not only head, of course).
