The 50mm f1.4 is probably the most unreliable lens I ever had in terms of focusing. IQ it very good though.

Even for light travel purpose, a 17-55 or 24-70 would be more appropriate. |

There's no point in the best lenses with better sharpness if you only print 4x6. High ISO noise is less visible at those smaller prints also. There's nothing wrong with the 55-250 lens. It has it's strengths and weakness you have to play off of. |
