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 I 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!

I believe the 1.8 is a bit better for daytime shooting, but the differences are noticible only if you pixel-peep. This guy does a decent job of reviewing em.
