I "inherited" this lens when I borrowed a friends Nikon film camera back in High School. It's definitely great for low light and the DOF is great!
Funny you talk about the D50 flash.. I was actually surprised how well it could be used.
Automatic TTL mode seems to work OK in most conditions, but try to play around with the manual settings to control the power of the flash.
The next thing I'm going to get for my D50 is a SB600 and some remote triggers.
