[QUOTE="Retro, post: 433486, member: 37517"] I've just been browsing AI-S lenses for my FE2 - and I just ordered a f/1.4 in mint condition - and the 1.2 comes up a lot, as well as the 1.8. I figured the 1.4 was a good compromise between cost and quality. I'm sure the 1.2 is a better lens, but I don't want to spend $500 right now. Could someone explain the differences between the 1.2, 1.4 and 1.8 lenses? I know it's all about light, but how much better is the 1.2 than the 1.4? And why will I be so happy I spent $200 instead of $60? I know. You get what you pay for. I'm quite surprised by the price of the 58mm. What's up with that???:eek: I think my next lens will be a 28mm f/2. And I need to choose my first zoom. [/QUOTE]
