We really love the look of the lens and the bokeh it provides - and the low light quality overall.
But what really kills me is the small focal plane and if a subject moves a bit---they go in to soft focus.
Can anyone recommend another lens for us to try? It doesn't have to go to 1.8 - We have light... but we just need something that is cheap#1 and offers interesting #2 bokeh.
Thanks in advance to anyone that has input!

What aperture are you using? Are you shooting that lens wide open? If so, try stopping it down to F4 of F5.6 and see if that gives you what you want. I have a Canon 50mm 1.4 that I use but can't use it wide open unless I'm doing wide/master shot. Or if I'm looking for artsy/fartsy limited depth of field type stuff. Otherwise, I use smaller aperture and that usually works. You might also try a Canon 35mm lens and see if that helps -
