Default Thoughts on lense

Nikon is selling their 50mm, 1:1.8 D AF lens for about 110.00.

Is this a good lens and is it worth the selling price?

Yes and yes. Some people like better that the f1.4 lens.

Hi.

Yes, it is a sharper lens than the 1.4. I've got the 1.4 and it is a very
good lens, but the 1.8 is even better.

YES!!! It is a steal, being both very sharp even at wide stops, without
linear distortion, and cheap! BTW, you may find my Nikkor evaluation
list interesting, at -- http://www.ferrario.com/ruether/slemn.html
