The bokeh is a bit better, and it is a bit sharper than the 1.8. But, if you've been fairly happy with the 1.8, I'd say stick with it. Maybe look at or save up for the 100mm 2.8 macro? I find that one really great for food photography. -L Hi Jaden,

Anyways, I have been using a 50mm 1.8 (cheap, less than $100) and I also have a 60mm 2.8 macro. I saw that you use the 50mm 1.4. Do you think there would be a huge difference between the 1.4 and the 1.8? I'm doing food shots only. Thanks! Jaden Hey L, a question for you.

I am interested in food and nature photography. Thank you.
