[QUOTE="Eye-level, post: 37281, member: 6548"] It's real simple...I don't like to shoot wide open and I don't like flash particulary and I don't have any floodlights and my main camera is meterless although I have a Luna Pro SBC but I digress... :) The 1.8 will make some great Thanksgiving and Christmas pictures for sure...what the 1.4 is going to do is going to give you some more depth of field a little more shutter speed or a little lower ISO...either lens is able to do the job...they'll "write" basically the same...you can make nice pics with either. Like you say it is all very subjective but one thing you must learn and understand about photography when it comes to lenses is the relationship of what your eyes see, your brain imagines, and how your lens will draw the subject...and how to make it into a good photo! It is a lot of work...shoot...shoot...shoot!!! Perhaps folks who know a lot more than me about these more modern lenses will chime in about the 50 1.4D... [/QUOTE]
