like the pub idea, I shelled out for the 50mm today, but just to be sure, really sure I got the f1.4 version lol. I may just want the nose in focus I think the saying "better looking at it than for it" suits me here.
I now see the tech how on full frame and the camera I have, my d2x will multiply up so my 50mm is not really a 50mm... So I guess I'll find out soon enough, I took my camera out today and tried my wife with the sea in the backdrop, it was ok - blurred dof but the thing just was not enough. I really valued all your imput so I'll know if the 50mm pays off.
