50mm focal length *is* a near perfect portrait lens field of view for
the DSLRs.
An M50/2 is most likely not worth the CLA charge ... new Pentax A50/2
lenses are available from B&H Photo for less than $70, and go used on
Ebay for as low as $30 or so in good condition.

This 50/2 lens is in good shape, but would need a CLA before it
would be
even sellable. Is there any compelling reason to keep this lens? Any
secrets
about it, like "oh, man this lens is sweet when reversed" or
anything like
that?
