Well. Having the free extra F-stop isn't anything to complain about then. I just don't get the people who go buy the F1.4 when it really is five times more expensive than the 1.8
I saw some shots from the F1.4 a couple weeks ago and the plane you had to focus on was like half an inch at minimum focus distance.
I love my 1.8 but with my refurb D50 I only paid about $380 total all together, so it's obvious that I'm looking for thrift.
I'm just wondering how much of a need there is at the pro level for a 1.4, particularly now that you have cameras like the D3.

I can't tell you how often I get people all. "I have a D3, it's my first Digital camera, I'm shooting in Pmode with ISO auto aaaand my sunsets aren't coming out the way I want them to. Or I can't focus on a tree outside through my window." Or something along those lines. It makes my stomach weep, out my mouth, with chunks.
