I am looking at getting one- can anyone suggest the best value for money?

Hi Welcome to the forum.
You could look at the Nikon 85mm f1.8 lens. Hope this helps... Graham

is there much difference in the 1.4 and the 1.8 I can't imagine you can see much difference apart from the cost! I do all my http://www.specialimages.co.uk/blog/ with a wide aperture 2.8 and sometimes when space is time my a shorter wider lens would help- might have to be the 1.8 as its far cheaper and I am guessing lighter.

The f1.4 is a top of the range fx format lens , and should deliver superior results than the f1.8

Hello Grantly Lynch,

What format are you shooting FX or DX?

1.8 circa £250.00. 1.4 £1000.00+. Decisions, decisions!
