I'm planning out my soon to be recent purchase of a D90, and I'm looking for a prime lens to go with it.
I was looking through B&H, and there's a 50mm 1.4 and a 50mm 1.8. Studying the specs, here's the differences I can find:
The 1.4 has 6/7 elements, vs 5/6 of the 1.8. More = better?
The 1.4 has a f/stop range of 1.4-16, whereas the 1.8 is 1.8(duh)-22. Would a greater range == less quality or anything?
Minimum focus range differs .3". No biggie.
Only other difference was dimensions and weight. Any input or opinions on these two? The 1.8 is significantly less price-wise than the 1.4. Thanks for any help as always!
