 Very fast & at a fraction of the f1.2's price. November 16, 2008
I really like this lens. Focus is quick & sharp. Can't beat it for the money. Try pricing the Canon f1.2 lens and you'll see what I mean. For a huge premium all you get is a tad more speed and questionable improved sharpness. You will get slightly improved weather resistance but for most of us that really isn't a big deal.
In for a long-term relationship.... November 15, 2008
This was my first lens purchase other than the kit lens I got with my 30D. I've been using it for over a year now, and couldn't be happier with it. It's solid and fast, and is a real workhorse in low-light situations without flash--e.g., taking food shots in restaurants. Produces great portraits with beautiful bokeh.
Love this lens November 2, 2008

PROS: Super sharp images, great in almost any lighting condition, fast, sturdy build. 50mm focal length is a good compromise for most intimate shooting situations.
CONS: 50mm too close for some situations, need to aim carefully (difficult to autofocus correctly without careful targeting).
 Hello again October 30, 2008
Canon EF 50mm f1.4 USM Standard & Medium Telephoto Lens for Canon SLR Cameras
I'd had this lens and used it constantly. After 4 or 5 years of being treated to Maine's cold winters/hot summers/sand, fog, and seawater ... and dropped after all that ... it was obviously time to replace this little workhorse with another of the same. Great low light lens for basketball, close-up work and when you want to get the shot but not draw attention to yourself. Good quality, no aberrations. The fact that I immediately replaced the lens should let you know I consider it a necessity in my camera bag.
Love this lens ! October 24, 2008
Purchased this lens just before a trip west to the Balloon Fiesta and sightseeing in Santa Fe. Fabulous low-light shots inside chapels entirely without flash -- looked like daylight inside. Beautiful bokeh in front and beyond focal point. Just remember, it's a prime lens at 50mm -- "sneaker zoom" is required.
