Yep owned 1 once. Great lens, value for money, sharp dosnt feel like plastic and can be had for about 500 on TM

Well worth it considering ill purchase a zoom? The 1.4 gives a nice drop in ISO for low light vs 2.8 or not realllly that noticeable?

:oops: We worked hard this last month with 7 weddings in 6 weeks so thought it was only fair to reward ourselves :)
The computer is for the business - but the phone is a toy :)

Well I guess that's fair enough then!

What I figured, its funny to note the 1.8 stopped down is sharper than the other two iirc. Check the digital pictures iso charts, but the lack of aperture blades makes it look fairly trash not to mention the build and focus.

The 1.8 @ 1.8 is a bit of a laugh however, reminds me of a kit lens @ 300mm or similar, f2.8...pin sharp.
