I c, I manually quoted it XD. If you say that F2 is good enough and no need to go for F1.4, then should I just buy the DA50mm F1.8 or FA50mm F1.4 instead for a better price?

---------- Post added 09-30-14 at 01:27 AM ----------



you mean that 85mm F1.4 is much better then these ones, is that correct? the price is also much higher. What does better subject isolation mean? I'm sorry English is not my first language XD
I think the DA 55 will probably be sharper at f2 than the DA 50mm f1.8. Also, f1.4 is available if you need it.

f1.4





f3.2

The f/1.8 has 97.4% of what the f/1.4 can give you and only costs $130. However, since you said money isn't an issue, why not go for the da f/1.4?

DA50/1.8 is 4 times cheaper, but not worse than DA*55/1.4

Really sharp at all apertures and has rather good bokeh. No SDM. Very quick AF. Quicker than DA*55/1.4
