Perhaps the best photo/doller ratio lens I have, or maybe even available for Nikon. But I like the photos so much that I wonder if the old 1.4, or even better the new is worth the money… I am still on the fence here so I look forward to the review.

Is it just me or have you been using the new 17" MBP on PhotoshopuserTv for the last few weeks? It sure looks like the same size as the other fellas? ~ Jeff Hey Scott….

The 1.8 is on my camera 90% of the time. I trust you'll enjoy the 1.4 thought :) Regards Jason There’s not a lot in it quality wise when you run the Nikkor 50mm 1.8 and 1.4 at f5.6.

If you're still a beginner at Ps, I'm likely to think you won't find too much of a difference between 3 and 4. If the money's an issue, I would probably just keep CS3. It may not be the latest and greatest, but it will still serve you well for a year or so. Scott, Just a little more on the blog feedback side of things that I didn't have the chance to comment on the other day. If you click the photo gallery up top four or five times in rapid succession the whole gallery does this funky blinky thing that you probably already know about. And (I have the tenancy to ask for the moon and not really know it. Warning: that's probably occurring here) I was wondering what it would take to specialize your blog for iphone/ipod. I tried to leave a comment on your blog the other day from my ipod . . . not a very comfortable situation, so, sadly, I gave up. (I didn't really have much patience either.)

The AF isn't magic (like the 24-70mm) and doesn't quite focus on anything but the center unless you use one of the fixed AF sensors using the mode switch. Otherwise I've been getting stunning shots. Having the AF-S G mount has made quite the difference over the D lens. I haven't had it very long, but my first few have been great. http://photography.dustindiaz.com/50mmf14g And Scott, I love your PSI podcast and read two of your books on digital photography — just never commented much on your blog. Please keep it up! Cheers. I must say this lens is stellar as well.

I ordered the CS3, (which I took a course on and I have your book) they sent me CS4. I can return it but wanted to ask you first, especially since I got it for $179.00. Thanks! p.s. your book helped me a lot more than the course I took! :-) Hey Scott, Can you tell me the difference between CS4 and CS3 and do you like it.

I love it ... (note: I mostly do children indoors, and the shadow and light are a lot better than I get bouncing the SB-400 off the ceiling; the ability to really blur the background indoors is also spectacular). I have no idea if it's better optically than the 50mm f1/4D it replaced, but I've got a D40 so the af-s is really important, and it focus fast enough. I keep a Hoya Super HMC UV(0) filter on it.
