I have the Nikkor AF-S 50mm F1.8G lens....(a fair optic).......even though 50mm is not my favourite FL.
.........however, this is a lens site and we talk about lenses here.......I'm sure nobody is going to wet themselves over a review of my Nikkor.......as I'm sure many will have done over this Canon........
........So, every lens has it's applications and every application has it's attractors........
......these attractors have little choice of at this level...........and I'm sure they wouldn't wet themselves over the Nikkor F1.8, who should have produced an F1.4 to keep things affordable.
If Canon hadn't nailed all aspects of it's IQ I would have agreed with you.......
.......but they have, so I don't!
....(Ah ha!... I did spent that on the Nikkor AF-S 500mm F4D though...go figure?)
