I just came back and read more comments, want to thank you once again for your advices, I appreciate that. Getting my 50/1.4 and also probably 28/2 on 30th of December!

That's exactly what I thought you'd say, guys. :) You're right, I've been trying to jump over my head with this 1.2 here, I guess. I am an amateur yet, but who doesn't want to feel pro with his expensive lenses at this point? This is honestly just silly. Well, thanks everyone, I'll go find a good deal with 50/1.4. Probably going to ask about wide angle lenses next time around. Have a nice day!

Hello once again, and this time we're gonna talk about 50mm FDs. Thanks to you that I got 100/2, it's terrific lens, now I think about getting new 50mm to replace basic 50/1.8 that I have. Of course, at first I've taken a look at 1.2 lenses, but all of them are really damn pricey for me, especially if you take current dollar exchange rate into account (maybe the only thing I could hardly get is 55mm ssc version). Also a lot of good has been said about 1.4 in one of the recent topics. To be honest, that's not really a question for me, since this is a choice between about $100 and $700, but still, I am really curious about what can 1.2 give what 1.4 cannot besides one stop bigger aperture, and conversely, why is 1.4 better (I hope that it at least is not much worse, because you always doubt when something is too cheap). I appreciate your advices and opinions.

<p>Thanks everyone! Really helpful responses! I found a guy with 100mm f2 in my area, I think I'll get it from him if condition is good. </p>

<p>Hello guys! So it's my birthday soon and I want a portrait lens for my Canon AE-1 Program. I've been reading bunch of topics on different forums about that and decided that I will choose between 100mm f2 and 85mm f1.8 (also s.s.c. version). There was a lot of good words about both lenses, but I like 100mm f2 more. So the main question is: Is 100mm f2 better to pay more for it, or 85mm f1.8 is good enough? <br />P.S. Sorry if this has been asked, I need a quick answer, if it's possible. (Also sorry if my English is bad) Have a nice day. :)</p>
