I can’t understand why you would pay extra for the 50mm when it doesn’t even offer true macro.

There are two reasons that I can think of Stephen:

Firstly, many of us bought the 50 mm macro lens some time before the 35 mm lens was available; in my case, more than four years ago.

Secondly, the 50 mm macro lens is much faster that the 35 mm optic, and as good as that is, it still cannot quite match the performance of the 50 mm lens.
