If you plan on going full frame some day, be careful of your choices. It can really throw you off with your fixed lenses. When I shot solely with 1.6 crop I loved my 24 1.4, but when I upgraded to FF I just never got use to the framing. Fortunately I have the 35 1.4 now.
That good, eh? :-) Yeah, I've read very nice things about this lens. And let me clarify: I could spend $1,400 on it... But I think I'll be better off getting a cheaper lens and putting the difference towards a 5DmkII...
Hi Jordan, thanks for taking the time to write. After reading reviews, seeing samples, etc. I've decided not to get the Canon 1.4. It looks too dreamy wide open and the AF motor is not the best... Sure, I'm being picky. But, I'd rather wait and get something I'm real happy with, instead of something I'm so-and-so happy with.
Tony
