This thread is perfect timing for me, I just ordered the 1.8 version. The store didn't have either, so they had to order it (I guess from their warehouse)... I haven't paid yet, so I could cancel the order and go with the 1.4. I went with the 1.8 since it is cheap enough to buy just for fun.. I have a D40 so I don't know if the manual focus is going to be too much hassle for me. I'm hoping the image quality will make it worth while. I didn't want to spring for the 1.4, since I would rather pay a bit more and get the Sigma version with the internal focus motor, or wait to see if Nikon will come out with an AS-F version of their 50 mm prime. Anyway, I'm not sure what the point of this rambling post is, but I am curious to know how sharp the 1.8 is when stopped down a few stops? Some of the comments above about softness when shooting wide open have scared me a bit!
