The 50 1.4 and 1.8 were the standard 35mm film lenses, and considered at the time to be pretty good, they were not designed for digital, which wasn't even on the horizon at the time.

Even so I don't think cost is really a factor, more the reflective glass in front of the sensor. Film wasn't reflective, a factor which also messed with TTL flash.
