I have the same dilemma - the 50/1.8 is pure Toyworld construction
but is a very good fast portrait lens on a didge and cheap enough
that you would not grieve if it died of got damaged. One of my
favorites. BUT I do hanker after the 1.4. What I also do is remind
myself that the faster version is still not an L grade lens and, the
50/2.5 macro is cheaper. That is he choice I may make.
