Cool! I think you'll like it. If you can afford the 1.4, it does have smoother focus. It doesn't have the ring USM motor, but it does have a clutch, so you can manually focus while in auto mode without ruining it. And I think the bokeh is noticably better than the 1.8, but that will depend on who's looking. And it's solid! Make sure you post some pics once you get it.Mihai said:Mark, you sold me on the 50! I realize now that I want portraits more than wide angles. I'll start with the 50mm!
Thanks for helping me decide!

I'd wait till Photokina, which is coming up on the 26th of Sep.Mihai said:Now the only question I have is if I should wait for Canon to drop the price of the 30D in response to Nikon's D80 or not. Any advice on this?
Perspective has more to do with camera-to-subject distance than it does with lens focal length. If you have to back up to take a shot with a 50mm on a 1.6x crop camera, then it will have a different perspective than if you had taken the same shot closer up on a full-frame camera. So the crop factor can have an effect on perspective, although I'd imagine that the difference that the crop factor makes would be more or less negligible.ShutteredEye said:Mark,
When making the "human eye" comparison for the 50mm lense, are people referring to the "field of view," or the perspective? Obviously just b/c you put a 50mm on a crop factor camera, the perspective doesn't change, just the field of view.
I guess you could call the store and/or check forums like this. People talk.Mihai said:I think (hope) I can hold till then... and when it comes, what should I look after? And when (one week later?)
Thanks,
