50mm 1.8 vs. a 1.4

[msp1488]

hope this isnt one of those questions that annoys everyone , any way im looking for a low light lens for clubs and natural low light situations , im broke so im very stuck on the 1.8 but i know the a.f wont work on the d60 , but i want to ask if anyone that has this combination ( d60 +1.8 ) have any problems with manual focus and so on . or should i stick with saving for a 1.4

any other alturnatives ??

thank you in advance

Is the 35 f/1.8 too wide for you?

50mm f/1.4 $470

35mm f/1.8 $200 (DX)
35mm f/2 $360

On my sig I have my myspave with some shots but I really like the fact that it's a prime so you get some wideneds but honestly I'm fairly new when it comes to this but have some background on lenses I mainly know what I read online


But I want natural light at night LOL as I said before
Also what do you mean it could be too short or too long ? I know with the 50mm since it's a prime I have slot of footwork due
