I have heard the 1.4 has a little better build quality, and it blurs the background a bit better, but it is also over 200 dollars more. Okay onto the quality of the 1.8I take a lot of family photos, as well more creative ones. This lens works great for family functions, gives a really good shallow depth of field (blur out backgrounds so the focus is on your subject). It's also very useful indoors or low light. Because it's so wide open (f/1.8) you can shoot at a faster shutter speed and eliminate unwanted blur or shake. I find myself using this lens more then the kit lens or my 75-300mm simply because the optical quality is better and the fact that its fixed at 50mm usually is not a problem.Pros-*Inexpensive :at $80 everyone should have one in their bag*Very wide aperture (f/1.8) : higher shutter speeds shallower depth of field*Optical quality :better then kit lens*small and light :doesn't add much in space or weight in your camera bag*fast focusing :auto focusing is fairly quick Cons-*body build quality :plastic body, but does not change image taken*prime lens (50mm) :with cameras shooting 6-12mp you can crop the image I can not speak for the f/1.4 50mm lens.
