I know the value of 1.4 vs nifty fifty or 50 stm has been beaten to death over the years. However, price being a big con for 1.4's case would you:

1. Go with a cheap used 50 1.4 for a cheap marketplace find ($100)

Or

2. Pick up a cheap refurb RF50 1.8 currently on sale for $80?

I'm torn between the two considering same price range. 1.4 is decently quiet and USM AF is OK but not silent like STM.

I have an older EF crop body but switching over to either r7 or RP body soon. Thanks!

Who refurbished the RF 50, and what sort of a warranty are you getting?

Canon refurb... Was just $80.. winner
