I voted 50/1.4 because there isn't an AF version of 50/1.2. For 85/1.8, there is still an 85/1.4, so that will start to bug me... ;pHallo... which bokeh is better for these 2 lenses?

What would you like in your shooting?

- head shoot

Half body and head shots are quite different leh. Half body down to waist, head is down to neck.Usually i shoot both leh? definitely not full body.
any reason you ask this question? for me, half body and head shots are the same leh :dunno:

That aside, it really depends on whether you're shooting film or DX, what kind of shots you're going for and the working distance you have.
The other part of my question is how much working distance do you have? If you don't have space to back off to take half body, or you prefer to work closer to the subject for easier communication, then I'd suggest you go with the 50/1.4 since you're shooting DX.i can only afford these 2 lenses, not f1.2 or 85mm f1.4 :dunno:
By the way, i am using D70s and i like to shoot close up portrait. (mostly half body or head shot)
Also, you know you're already getting the best of the AF 50mm, for the 85mm, the f/1.4 version may still haunt you. ;p
hahah.... you like that said, I like it.
Philip,
I agreed the 85mmf1.4 will come after you. hehe
Take your time and do slowly lah.
BTW, your image is very very good esp the puppy.
Cheers
Although 85mm f/1.4 is one hell of a lens, the 85mm f/1.8 is no push over. For the price, it's one lens you will not regret getting especially if you shoot portraits. I believe it is also a easy lens to re-sell if you intend to go for the f/1.4 lens later.
No doubts about that, the 85/1.8 is also a good lens. But as human nature dictates, if there's something better, you will not feel satisfied. At least for an AF 50/1.4, that's the best you can go for the focal length unless you don't mind the MF version where a 50/1.2 is available. ;p
how about the built quality of these 2 lenses?
both are metal? or something like 50mm f1.8 built.
