I own the 50mm f/1.4 AF (non-D, but it uses the same optical formula as the D lens) and find its rendering "interesting" - it's pretty muddy wide open, but renders in quite a "round" way. I quite liked the 50mm f/1.8G when I had it, but its rendering, while reliable and pretty crisp, wasn't the most appealing - a bit wild and rough. The 50mm f/1.4G seems to provide more pliable images with smoother transitions while being sharper than the original AF lens, but I could be wrong. I'll certainly not advocate a lens I've never owned. The 50mm f/1.8G *is* a good lens, all things considered, so no objections from me, to be sure.I read all the reviews about 50/1.4G vs 50/1.8G and firmly came to the conclusion that 50/1.8G + 50/1.4D is the way to go
