I'm guessing you mean the Canon 50/1.2 instead of the 1.4? Nikon primes are
damn good.

If you usually convert to BW then Nikon D200 images at 1600iso will look
just fine. Nikon's digital always reminds me of film. Just don't be one of
many critics who shoot an underexposed image and then claim it's all noisy!

Don't judge by images on a computer. Shoot and then print some photos, the
real only way to tell.
