[QUOTE="gqtuazon, post: 325283, member: 6573"] I have compared an 85mm f1.8 and an 85mm f1.4 lens before. F11 is something that I do not use except on specific application and it defeats the purpose of buying that lens and not use it to get some artsy-fartsy creativity and to lower iso levels. However, if both lenses were used with the same camera, mounted on a tripod, shooting at F1.8 aperture, 1/160th, auto ISO, the significance can be measured at higher Iso level. The 85mm f1.8 lens gave me a ISO 4000 and the f1.4 lens only recorded around ISO 2,800 if my memory is correct. Is that enough justification for you? That is all up to the individual photographer. I do prefer the creamier bokeh that the f1.4 produces but it might not be a worthy investment if you do not use it a lot. a studio type photographer might not need a faster lens if he shoots at f8.
