Thanks for the price info.
The lense seems to be hard to focus sometimes. Maybe Im shaking too much or just my camera. Anyway its a good lense for portrait.

All right guys, here is the photo comparison first. I'll talk about it in my next post.

Firstly, BOKEH comparisons !

Order of comparison : 50mm is featured first, followed by the 35mm.

Basis of comparison, the settings used for both lenses were EXACTLY the same and i tried to compose the photos are identically as i could hand held.

Naturally since its lenses of DIFFERENT focal lengths, discrepancies were inevitable.

1) Bokeh test. I have concluded the 50mm is generally smoother then a baby's bottom. The 35mm's bokeh is much more "busier" in a sense. BUT still pretty decent.

35mm

50MM

thanks for the images, will get 50mm, background more blur... will just compensate to step back for wider view.

You step back, the focus distance changes. Depth of field also gets deeper

For example, 35mm @ 1.8 on DX cam, focus to 2m, DOF = 0.23m
Switch to 50mm @ 1.8, may have to step back to 3m in order to have same field of view, then DOF becomes 0.25m

anybody has both the 50/1.8D and the 50/1.8G and can do some simple side-by-side comparisons of bokeh, etc?

Just SOOC JPGs would be great
Or else I've gotta go get the 50/1.8G for myself and try try... hehehehe

this was taken before i sold my 50/1.8D, only to test the sharpest at f/1.8, but not the bokeh. i dun think you would regret getting it.

I also felt that it was more contrasty and sharper, though didn't test side-by-side shots to compare

Set your shutter speed times 2 of your focal lenght to avoid blurry output. Don't worry, it's a fast lens ...

Not too much of an issue in good lighting conditions, but indoors is another matter altogether.

This site has a good comparison of many 50mm lenses -- check it out -- there are lots of bokeh tests at various apertures. Think people have posted this link before:
