I wouldn't make any lens-use decisions based on a single test posted on the web by J. Random Idiot.  I could have a bad sample of that lens, or I could just have forgotten to focus the lens for those shots.  After all, I hate doing stuff like that so much I was in a real hurry to get it over with.

A fascinating test.  I'm especially amazed by how poorly the Nikkor 1.8/50
performs at all apertures.  I actually have this lens, I think, somewhere, but I
don't use it anymore; after seeing this, I'm not tempted to start using it
again!
