interesting - do you miss 1.4 at all?

fantastic shot by the way, love it!

Nah, I never used it at 1.4 due to softness and instead only shot it at F2 or 1.8 at a push, I usually like to stop down a little even if it's only a 3rd of a stop just to improve the contrast a little, however this 50 1.8g is plenty sharp at 1.8 so that's what I shoot it at 95% of the time, same with the 35mm 1.8 as well.

I was going to get the 50 1.4G, but heard quite a few reports in forums from people who apparently had both, and that the 1.8G was a little sharper, however I also read this review which seemed pretty damning of the 1.8G.

Then I watched the below video from digital rev, who said the 1.8g was sharper than the 1.4.


So I decided to take a punt on 1.8g, however the first one I got was awful, it was tack sharp when shooting anything close up, but soft then shooting anything relatively far away, so I thought I'd try another copy before opting for the 1.4g, but luckily this copy is perfect, and probably by favourite lens so far.

Note:

I should declare, that I am a moderate pixel peeper.
