QUOTE(jchue73 @ Jun 6 2012, 04:19 PM) In that pic, you look more like a tired and annoyed prison guard in Africa !  No worries. Wide angle and still want bokeh? That's where the 24mm f/1.4 and 35mm f/1.4 come in.   The 28-70mm f/2.8 is a fantastic lens in it's time. Still is. The thing is 28mm vs 24mm is quite a lot of difference. 24mm = 84 degree 28mm = 75.33 degree The other thing is the 28-70mm f/2.8 being an older lens would be risky getting the AF-S motor rosak. Replacement cost is quite high. In the end, it might be more worth it to get the 24-70mm f/2.8 instead. I think it was Robert Capa who said that if you’re pictures aren’t good enough, you’re not close enough. Yeah, it will not be long when you see them drive 599 GTOs.  keke.. i doubt i will want bokeh at UWA..  will only open wider to get more light.. otherwise will stop it down to f/8 or f/11 for more DOF and sharpness  |

Okay, so I just received my 50mm f/1.8G. First thing I noticed, the focus ring is kinda rough / tight? Normal? As compared with my other lens...

Just now testing my batt grip to ensure it is working... Damn I miss 8fps sound... last time I used it was Super GT 2011 I guess LOL. |

Is there any difference in term of sharpness or AF speed between 50mm f1.8D and 50mm f1.8G is used on a body with AF motor?

AF speed seems similar, or maybe the 1.8D appears faster maybe because it is noisier . Accuracy wise, 1.8G wins. Sharpness, 1.8G seems better and more contrast too probably due to the aspherical element in it. |

G much sharper, better bokeh, more contrast. D, noticably focus faster on body with AF Motor but it's not silent, the focus ring turns and no manual override, but everything else the G is better (unless you like the output result from D).
