I'm one of those that also had a love/hate relationship with the 50mm FOV. Never really used a 35mm on APSC where I first started out with ILC cameras, didn't get along with it when I had my 6D, but really quite liked it on m4/3. No idea why. So much so that I splashed out on the Panasonic Leica 25mm f1.4. And really really enjoyed it. So much so that when I side shifted to the S5, I had to acquire that 50mm FOV.
I absolutely love the Lumix S 50mm F1.8 Is it the sharpest 50mm out there? I'm guessing no, not by a long shot. But I really don't care. The Bokeh can be a little bit unusual at times, but I honestly don't worry about it. It's (the lens) has got a bit of character. It doesn't produce sterile, clinical images, it can produce a bit of CA at times, but in some way that I can not explain, it can produce almost organic looking shots at times. Did I say I really really like it? Build quality seems excellent to me, weather sealing is a bonus. It's one of the lenses that if I ever killed in some way, I'd instantly buy another.
Anyway, it was Chrysler day by the bay here today. I also took my Siggy 28-70 F2.8 along to try shooting @ 65mm, as I'm kinda a bit keen on the Siggy 65mm F2 prime. Don't think it's gonna happen though
