wide open the f/1.8 is sharper in the center but the edges really suck, the f/1.4G on the other hand is not as sharp in the center, but still very usable and on top of that it is also usable at the edges, stop down to f/2.8 or further and the f/1.4G is stunningly sharp from center to edge at every aperture. The 50mm f/1.8 on the other hand does not get even close at the edges until f/8
so if you only care about center sharpness wide open get the f/1.8, if you want the entire frame sharp get the f/1.4G
