Hi all,
I'm hoping some members might have experience with both these lenses and could share their experience here.
I have the 50/1.8, but a friend wants to buy it and I wouldn't mind having that extra bit of light a 1.4 offers. For 'serious' work I already have the Zeiss 50/2, but I sometimes need an autofocus 50mm for theatre and concert jobs. Usually the pictures are for internet use, so a 50/1.2 would be overkill (not to mention the price). The Zeiss 50/1.4 is on my wish-list too, but right now I just need working lens: that is, the manual focus of the Zeiss is a bit impractical for theatre jobs.
Does anybody know if the 50/1.4 marks a significant improvement over the 1.8 on a full-frame camera, or should I just stick with the one I've got?
Thanks in advance!
