[QUOTE="hrstrat57, post: 480240, member: 27586"] Yep specs can often mislead.....my only eyeball test is my 50 1.4D vs my son's 50 1.8D. 50 1.4 D wins my eyeball test with creamier bokeh but nothing wrong with any of these lenses I'd guess. As an old school guy I admit the distance scale window is important to me just looks better....more old school. I wouldn't trade my Nikon 50 F 1.4 AF D for any of the others. Love it. Especially love how my local LCS threw it in as a freebee when I bought the used D300 ! Shot nothing else for the first month, It remains my favorite bit of Nikon AF kit. [/QUOTE]
