Goodbye f/1.8...Hello f/1.4

When I got my 50mm f/1.8 lens,
I thought that was it.

It was fast
The bokeh was silky smooth
Great in low light...

And then I met the f/1.4

It was faster
The bokeh was even more silky
And it was absolutely amazing in low light.

What does one extra f stop mean?
Twice the lens opening = half the time it takes to take a picture
So next to no light is the new low light.

I am very excited for this lens, going to break it in taking baby pictures.

Next up on the list:

Get rid of my 55-200mm VR lens
And get either an 18-105mm ($250)
or 16-85mm vr lens ($500)

Decisions decisions...let's go Citibank!
