This has been my under-the-basket lens for years. I'm tempted to sell it and my 85mm f1.2 II for the f1.4 version.

I definitely recommend you rent the f1.4 LIS to see if it's af accuracy and ca are an improvement on what you already have.

How do you think the 10 year old 1.8 compares to the 1.4 IS? Considering the $1,000 price difference? I always see great photos of the 1.8 but people say the 1.4 is amazing.

i understand your question is addressed to someone else, but i would like to add that the only reason i gave it 4 stars is because of its "CA" if used in extreme contrasty situation, as i'v already noted. other wise, this lens deserves 5 stars very easily! sharpness, color rendition, contrast and fast auto focus are all topnotch, especially at this reasonable price.
