I have a 50 f/2
Won’t replace that lens.
The plane of focus is too narrow when wide open to be practical at that focal length.
Maybe at concerts or something with distance but I like getting close to my subjects…
There were at least 3 instances that the 1m min focus distance on that v1 got in my way. O.7m doesn’t seem like a lot, but it really is and the modern lenses got me used to .7m and .5m
