Hi all,
I recently brought a Canon AE-1 which came with a Canon 50mm FD 1.8 lens but after a bit of reading everyone it seems everyone agrees the 1.4 is a lovely piece of glass. Would you recommend selling the 1.8 and replacing it with the 1.4? I am a bit confused as to why the 1.8 can be brought a lot cheaper than the 1.4, is the 1.4 built any differently than the 1.8? Does the extra f-stop make enough difference to warrant exchanging the lenses?
I've only developed 4 rolls of film since using the 1.8 and I have been extremely pleased with the results so I am in no immediate rush to change the 1.8... just curious to know more about the kit I currently have.
Thanks for all of your help,
Lewis.
