>>183017 It's a medium telepoto. It's a good length for the things you'd use a medium tele for: portraits and shooting performances (concerts, theatre, etc.) mostly, and also slightly abstracted shots or pulling detail out of crowds, and when you just need some reach.
A lens between 28 and 35mm is a normal lens on (most) crop sensors, just like a 50mm on film. Perfect for almost everything.

For EF mount: The f/1.8 version is good, but the f/1.4 is a downright great lens. Get it if you can afford it.
For F mount: I like the 50/1.4 better than the 50/1.8, but it's subjective, as all of these are. Go search for and lurk shots from them on Flickr and make the call yourself.
For K mount: Get the f/1.4. I don't even know if Pentax makes a 50/1.8, but pretty much every 50/1.4 Pentax has made in its history is awesome.
For funky-looking-"a"-mount: Don't know anything.
