Relatively speaking, the "Thrifty Fifty" isn't really a "fast" lens. Consider that the same diameter is available in two faster flavors...
Yeah, the 50L has a rep!
Funny story about this -- I was doing some street photography in my little downtown a couple of years ago and was shooting with the 85L and came across this statue of either a relgious female figure or a historical one, I don't recall which. Some folks had "decorated" her with a neclace of white beads. I grabbed a couple shots wide open, one backed off and one closer:
I vaguely noticed a purplish tint on the beads

...when I quickly processed the shots and uploaded them to PBase. A bit later I posted one up here in an image sharing section without really paying attention to what I was doing, and a kindly POTN memeber said something like "were those beads really purple like that?"...well check out the "unfixed" shot and judge for yourselves

Well, since purple was not "native" to the image, in Lightroom I pulled Purple Saturation all the way back (-100) in the HSL tab and was pretty satisfied (and relieved) at the result. Otherwise some fine brushing with a local adjustment brush would have been called for:
