Good lens, but way expensive.
If you're going with manual focus, the Pentax SMCP-A 50 f/1.4 is, in my
opinion, as good and will cost you less.

I have both lenses and I do like 50/1.4 more.
And my recent favorite is 35/2.
For night shooting tripod works miracles :)
If you do not need AF cosider Voitlander 58/14 (excellent lens!) or
old Cosina 50/1.2
