I'm buying a 50mm lens for weddings...which one should I get?

[Socrates]

I'm not so sure about Nikon...but in the Canon line up, the 50mm F1.8 is a cheap lens. It's optically quite good but the build quality is cheap. For wedding work, it's well worth the investment to get the 50mm F1.4, which is still a good lens for the price...(around $400).

It's pretty much the same story with Nikon.
