So much infomation. And I have tried some of it. I played with the ISO--it did get noise. I tried all the settings. I even took 10 (same) pictures with it, then 10 with my 24-105, then with my kit lens to see which were better. I have to say that the 50mm did ok and my L lens did to, but the colors of the picture were different. I even put my husband on the middle of the couch and had to back way up to get him and the full couch into the picture.
I will try the magazine test. And I do agree it does give good bokeh, but I want to get alittle more picture with the bokeh. It does have a very small focal point.
I will try all the information you gave and hopefully I will be happy with it. My husband says I've become spoiled with my 24-105 lens, which is probably true
