Frankie, You will find it is easier to manually focus a 50mm f1.4 lens than a f1.7 or f2.0. The extra light makes a big difference in how clearly you can see to focus. Otherwise, I think the lens qualities are similar at comparable apertures. Regards, Bob S. [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: << I pr

Hi Frankie, You can see photos taken with each here, http://gemma.geo.uaic.ro/~vdonisa/lensgal.html and comments on each at http://www.concentric.net/~smhalpin/LongComments.html . They are both considered to be fine lenses. Even the A 50 f2 is very nice. My favorite general purpose lense is an F

Dear all I propose to buy a 50mm lens for general purpose. Would you give me any opinion on the f/1.4 and f/1.7 lens? In reality, I seldom use the aperture larger than f/2.0. So the f/1.4 and f/1.7 have no difference for me. Rather, I wish to choose an optically good lens. Frankie - This messa
