A recent discussion around here gave me the impression that the 50/f2 is 
not bad as a macro performer, but not as good as the 50/3.5.  As a 
standard 50, though, the samples I saw on the net seemed to indicate it 
had a really nice image quality.  Tonal separation, especially in the 
highlights, seemed to be lovely.
