Cons: Ca can be a 'problem' at f1.4 its a litle soft.
Pros: Sharp from f2.0 and it's a perfect allround lens in low-light situations.
Summary: On DX it's my 'bread-and-butter' Queen. And in when flash is not a solution, it just make the difference between a blurred picture and a picture I can sell.

Cons: Not so sharp from wide open up to about f2.
Pros: Decent Bokeh, fast aperture, small and light, sharp from f2
Summary: Good 50mm lens, decent AF, sharpness usable wide open, quite sharp at smaller apertures. Not so expensive for a f/1.4 lens. I personally like the bokeh though it's not perfect.

Cons: Average contrast wide open. AF not very fast (though precise; does not pump). Distortion is visible, but easily corrected.
Pros: Very good to excellent IQ, from 2.8. Light, small, silent, easy AF override,. Front lens a bit receded, thus less easily damaged.
Summary: Very good 50mm allround lens (on FX). Expensive, so those needing a 50mm "just in case" had better buy the 50/1.8

Cons: USD 500 for a simple prime lens? Not as sharp as Sigma 50 wide open, nor the bokeh as smooth. Slower AF speed than AF-D 50 f1.4
Pros: Better bokeh than AF-D 50 f1.4 Less CA than AF-D 50 f1.4 Useable from F2, sharp across the frame from F4. Small and light (compared to Sigma 50 f1.4 HSM) AF is silent, and seems to be capable in low light.
Summary: Possible the best 50. Sigma has some better qualities in terms of vignetting, bokeh, and wide open sharpness but it brought down by its notorious AF issues.
