[QUOTE="crycocyon, post: 164519, member: 13076"] Just to add to that, when I did a lot of shooting with my D7000, I'd be using the kit lens 18-55 mm but if I wanted to do serious portrait work with it then I would use the 50 mm 1.4G and the image quality is like night and day. Interesting you saw that much of a difference between the 1.8 and 1.4 as I think they test fairly well against each other apart from the 1.4 having slightly better resolution (but a bit more distortion).
