Stu - The 50mm is mostly used as a portraiture lens due to its wide apperture giving good DoF, but they are good for most things as they are sharp and value for money. Mine is always mounted.
The smaller apperture allows for shooting in low light conditions without the need for flash - It could come in useful for sports photography, but not as good as other lenses available and wouldnt excell as its doubtfull you would be shooting as wide as 1.8 or 1.4.
