Hi all

Would be pleased to hear your thoughts on what the difference is between the two above mentioned lenses..

The 50 f/1.8 is pretty much a staple of most photographers, and cheap as chips as approx AU$120. The 50 f/1.4 is obviously faster by a little bit, but is also at least 5 times more expensive!

What is the difference between the 2? Is it just the aperture, or is it sharper, or is there some other difference?

How much difference is f/1.4 compared to f/1.8 in real terms, anyway?

What does it mean in terms of exposure times?

Thanks for your help.
