I had a 1.4 and a 1.8 50mm. The 1.4 was noticeably faster, but digital
seems to handle really low light better.
I also had a 1.8 85mm which was a marvelous portrait lens.
Unfortunately, I sold all my Canon stuff a couple of months ago or would
have offered them to you. I don't remember the conversion but it looks
like you are paying close to $100 for this lens. You can get it a lot
cheaper. You shouldn't be able to, but you can!
