[QUOTE="rocketman122, post: 261546, member: 14443"] MY 50 1.8D is fantastic. I just wanted something a bit better. I was willing to put in $600. screw it. will upgrade my tamron 17-35 to the tokina 16-28 and get the nikon 50. either the 1.8 or 1.4 G will have to do more research. 5 photogs have already spoken to the store we buy gear from to order it for us. a 50mm lens. I can understand that nikon pricing their 35 1.4G at $1600, so sigma wanting to easily win over nikons potential sales so they ask $900, and its clearly better than the nikon, but jeez, $1300. nikons laughing now. it may be sharper but hell no is a 50mm 1.4 lens worth more than $600. nikon will sell $20 before someone will buy 1 at $1300. its not the price, its the point that its a boring 50mm lens. this is what our grandpas were shooting with. its the most standard and boring focal length available. there is nothing wow you get from a 50mm 1.4. face/ portraits are meh with it. it can do full body shots but not enough compression. its not here nor there.
