I'm actually planning on selling the 50 when Tamron updates their 60mm Macro with a better focus motor. 50 is too short for portraits on APS-C, and too long for a general walkaround. The 60 will become my macro/portrait lens, and the 17-50 will be the general purpose walkaround.
Really? I used to use a Rokkor 85mm f/1.7 for portrait shots, which is very close to 50mm on APS-C (with the 1.6x crop factor, it's an 80mm equivalent).
