Why would one use a 50mm macro lens at infinity? Almost everyone has a
fast fifty for non-macro work.

I think it's too much. You can usually find the M 50/4 macro for less
than a hundred dollars. To my mind, a wide aperture is not necessary
on a macro. It makes focusing a bit easier, but with the limited DOF
you get when shooting macro, wide open is rarely an option.
The problem with the 50/4 is that it is not great at infinity, unlike
newer, FREE macros.
Tim, why buy the F from an auction when KEH has FAs for less? Perhaps
customs, is my guess.
