[QUOTE="SkvLTD, post: 352219, member: 12855"] So thinking of getting one of the 50s to own a low-light piece without attempting to home-brew my 50/2 H to Ai (though not a bad thought either, and isn't extremely difficult for me). So, grab a 50/1.8D locally for $100 and call it a day. Ebay 50/1.4D and call it a day. BestBuy 1.8G and call it a day. Or perhaps ebay a 35/2D for something slightly more versatile. I feel 1/3 of stop won't make a crucial difference in low light, but why not have a widest possible AF lens at the same time, right? Or give up on AF with these and aim for the 50/1.2 Ai as that is the most unique one of them all? (Maybe sharpie Noct on it for kicks?) [/QUOTE]
