JaGWiRE Goldmember 3,859 posts Joined Sep 2006 More info | The 1.4 seems to use a 58mm filter size vs the 52mm on the 1.8. That I guess has me sold already, because I already have the kit lens, and a sigma 70-300 APO lens on the way. I am a sucker for bokeh too, and the fact that I can now use my UV and Polarizer filter on the 1.4 whenever I get it is just too pleasing.

Sep 29, 2006 15:27 | #19 I looked very closely at the 1.8 vs. the 1.4 when I decided to buy a 50mm lens. I chose the f1.8 because I am a casual amateur, and I just couldn't justify the huge jump in price for the f1.4. I've never regretted it.

If you buy the 1.4, and figure out you never use it, or would rather have the 1.8, you will most likely loose $50 or so on the trade. 400D, 50D, 7D, 550ex, 420ex, 380ex, 50mm f/1.4, 17-85 EFS, 70-200 L f/2.8, 28-70 L f/2.8, 100-400L http://www.melodysphotos.com
