please explain why


also please explain your experience with such lenses.
is the extra half stop worth the extra 200$?
is the focus fuzzy at all at max aperture?
etc



thanks!

Get the 1.8, 'cause it's dirt cheap, and you don't know the difference.

Use the extra $200 to save for a different lens.

I would go for Helios 77m 50mm f/1.8 and adapter ring with AF confirm - Why ? Cus this lens is sharp as hell and dirty cheap !
But if you want sty with Nikon go for f/1.8 you just won't seen the difference

1.8
as mentioned above, also the 1.4 wide open is not that sharp anyway
u will love the 1.8
oh and nice cam, wouldnt mind 1 myself

this and because 50mm f1.8 is one of the best buy lens you can get.

i dont think anything wide open is sharp.
1.8 isnt sharp at 1.8 but at like 2 they are rediculous. even moreso at 2.8

The fuck...? Lol. I wouldn't trade my 1.4 for a 1.8 and have saved $200.

But, with it being your first I'd just go with the 1.8 due to cost effectiveness.

i got the 1.4

whats a couple hundredextra dollars??? LOL


shit i aint dissapointed either.......... when i renew my contract with my webhost ill throw the links to some pics up

If you plan to use it at fast apertures perhaps 1.4 (AFs one) is better.

If you will use it at f2.8-4 or smaller, that get 1.8 one.

Edit: on that camera I would buy 35mm 1.8...

Congrats on your camera! I have the same model and my impression is that it's a great camera!





That depends. the 35 1.8 is a great lens in many ways but it's not some kind of portrait lens.

The 50 1.8/1.4 is a great short tele and can be used as a portrait lens on the dx format as well.
