Not sure if anyone here has experience with said lens. I know I frequent the fm forums and a man by the name of petkal has this lens and is very fond of it. Lisa holloway uses the f/2 version in most of her photos. They both produce amazingly stunning images. I haven't seen any direct comparison per say but I haven't been looking for this particular situation but have heard the 1.8 produces a little warmer image. I think most of the older versions, I.e. magic drain pipe, produce that magic color. . I know some places still have parts for the lens so you should be able to get repairs if needed. I would just make sure you know the condition of said lens and if it has a fungus problem. I have heard older lenses are a little more prone. Otherwise, I would think either one would be a killer lens to have. Good luck in your decisions!
