So, about these 50mm f1.4 lenses ..... !!
Where in the world are you, how much you want, what condition, etc.... ?
Please be kind !! I am fairly new to this list and am naïve as to how much
these things are worth. I know they are nicer than the standard 1.8 50mm as
I have the 1.8 and my father has a 1.4 (came with his OM-1 - lucky ***, he
didn't even know it was a good one. Tried swapping, but he noticed !!)
May be interested, and would hate to see them go to a less grateful home !!!
Also, Multicoated, single coated, etc ?? Anything else I should know ?
Thanks,
Jon Mitchell
Of course if u r USA based, as r many on here, this may be a shipping
problem !! Still be interested in reply anyway. Similarly, anyone else
with an opinion / suggestion on my upgrading from the 1.8 to a 1.4 please
feel free to comment !

Pretty good point! Yes, I only take it for low light use (I don't have the
1.4 or 1.2 - yet). Of course the perspective of a 24 and 50 are quite
different. But for the sake of saving some weight...
