I was out last night with the 50, and noticed that my focusing accuracy in very low light improved dramatically if I focused to infinity first and then refocused on the subject, compared to small changes to focus. (focusing repeatedly at similar focus distances.)

Not meant as a complaint, more as a tip for people to try if they are having focusing issues.
