Looking for a good used version of this lens. The f/1.8 version is probably fine (I have not compared images between the two) but I want the fastest glass I can get so I can capture more intimate moments.
Also, if the optics are that much better, it will be obvious when shooting faces and people wide-open, not to mention that most primes are best 1 or 2 stops down from their widest.
Until I can afford that 35mm f2, I think $CDN149 for the 50mm f1.8 is a steal!
I just got a 50 mm 1.8 for my Canon and absolutely love it but this sounds gorgeous
The various 50mm from Nikon are considered similar in quality, though the consensus is that the high cost of the f/1.4 is not worth it.
Since most primes are best stopped down 1-2 stops anyway, and shooting digital with good noise reduction means you don't have to run wide-open all the time (even in low-light) I'm thinking f/1.8 is just fine.
