[QUOTE="ditonics, post: 466342, member: 39749"] Buying a grey import makes the 1.8D so cheap its silly not to get one, they are cheaper new than used??? But that got me looking at the 1.4D which is also pretty cheap grey import too. I have read a lot of reviews on them and it sounds like the 1.8 might be the sharper lens. DXO rates the 1.8 slightly sharper but the 1.4 wins out in just about every other way. I want to use it as a straight forward prime and also as a macro on a reverse ring (hence want a manual aperture) and I believe it will make for a good IR lens when (and if) I get a converted body. Some real world feed back would be much appreciated. Thanks [/QUOTE]
