[QUOTE="Deuce808, post: 479936, member: 39784"] I shoot the 35 1.8 wide open a lot. I was having trouble with blurry pics until I was told to keep the shutter speed about double the lens length. That forced my ISO way up bringing in noise. I don't post process so I'd like to keep the in camera shot as good as possible. Using the 2x rule I would be shooting at 1/100 and up in the 50 so I would assume that it would at least need the 6400 but was hoping to be able to bring down the ISO. If it won't come down to say 3200 then I will have to say the extra $ for the 1.4 isn't justified for me. I also read reviews that it isn't that sharp at 1.4 anyways. I guess the softness would lead to some good portraits with blended light though. That being decided (well still waiting on confirmation that the ISO won't drop enough) does anyone ever have issues with the d lens focus ring rotating and all that jazz? [/QUOTE]
