A bit off topic but where would be the cheapest place to pick up a rear lens cap for Nikon? I put mine in my camera bag and it's gone missing...

If you guys were buying your first prime lens, which would it be? The 50mm AF f1.8D, f1.4D or something else?

From the reviews I've read online, the f1.8D is a bargain at $150 and is even sharper than the f1.4D. However at 2.5x the price, the f1.4D has a better build quality and an extra 2/3 of a stop, which may be useful for the occasional shot. I'm leaning towards the f1.8D right now but wanted more opinions on it as most of the forum posts I found via Google are a few years old. Thanks!
