At 45mm equivalent, it is not far off the ideal standard lens focal length, assuming you're not an aperture fanatic. Making sense of the price is the harder part for me, but then I'm not its target...

Indeed, depends how you calculate standard lens. 50mm is an ideal standard lens for landscape orientation on 135 format.
For a lens that serves both portrait and landscape orientation, 43mm is ideal.
For portrait orientation 34mm would be ideal.
It is a nice lens as compact standard lens with lower weight and a bit higher IQ than the f2.8 standard zooms. That will make it worthwhile for some.
