the 1.4 is a lil out of my price range at the moment. and after looking at the reviews and comparisons the 1.8 really isn't far behind the 1.4

That sounds about right. I have been using mine for about 6 months and had no problems with it.

ya i've been reading good things about it. of course the 1.4 is better but for a budget lens the 1.8 should do quite nicely

For sure. Just thought I'd pass on what I found. $30 is part way to getting a UV filter for it.

It is the professional series of lenses. The glass that is inside the lens is different, idk how it is different but the pictures taken by it are much better than any of my other lenses.

Yeah that's the reason I didn't get the 1.4, all the reviews I read said the 1.8 is a really good alternative.
