Sorry for this intrusion, H (I know that you know it very well), but 50mm is ALWAYS 50mm..
What is changed when using 50mm lens with APS sensor (versus FF) is field of view, due to the fact that APS is smaller (1.6x).
While I fully understand the "equivalency" of terminology here, I think we should still stick to a correct one - "equivalent" focal length is misleading and incorrect term.. for the sake of novices.
Otherwise, fifty-nifty is a good lens, but people should be careful, there were bad reports.
We talked about it earlier on this forum - it seems there are two or three batches out there, one of them was pretty bad (coma in one corner, even down to f4).
