I've found that for shots without harsh lighting that will cause
flare, the K50/1.4 performs well wide-open, with a nice bokeh. It's not
so good at flare-prone shots (e.g. photo of city lights at night flying
from above)
Here's one of mumsy in overcast forrest conditions in Alaska...
IIRC it was either f/1.4 or f/2
