@HeitzelSkatesAustin hi, from what i gather there is not a hge deal of difference between the two. The 1.4 lets a tad more light in and the bokeh is slightly better. The biggest difference is that the build quality is much better on the 1.4. If you have more cash to splash I would opt for the 1.4, but in terms of value for money, definitely the 1.8. It has been described as the 'best value lens ever'.

wow, nice footage.. I'm thinking of getting a 5D mk 2, but I'm worried that it won't work well in low light situations.. Has it worked well for you?

I have the 50 f1.2. It rocks but it's a lot heavier.

0:26 is too funny.
