Tom, I don't know how google works for you. For me, there is a (link upper right) to a photo details page. In summary, there are 2 candlelight portraits at ISO3200 F2.0 & 1/15th or 1/13th. There's a flash shot (looking down) ISO400 F3.5 & 1/100th. The flags and Univ of Chicago banner is ISO400 f2.0 & 1/60th. The stain glass window is ISO400 f2.0 & 1/640th, The other two, Dave and Allie are ISO 800 f2.0 & 1/100th. They are all from the new K-5IIs and shot on P mode. Looking at the results, the lens seems to like F2.0.
I think the 55mm vs 50mm is the marketing guys we so malign. Who would buy a new DA50/1.4 when they have a FA50/1.4? I really like the lens... Regards, Bob S.
