 Wonderful lens January 19, 2007
7 out of 9 found this review helpful
Just wanted to add my voice to the chorus of those that think this is a great lens. Beautiful bokeh, sharp detail, and excellent overall quality makes this a wonderful lens. The image quality is comparable to my L series 24-105 and 100-400 lenses (of course, the 50mm is prime, so this was expected).
I have not used the 50mm 1.8, so can't compare it to that.

No chromatic abberations under any conditions. This is pretty good glass for the money. It makes me wonder what the 1.2 will do, other than the shorter f ratio.
Overexposure is easy with this lens, however.
Professional results at a budget price January 17, 2007

If you shoot portrait pictures with a half frame D SLR this lens is a must! I'm a serious budget conscious amateur photographer that owns several lenses but keeps away from the L-series due to the relatively high prices. This lens easily beats anything out there from ultra quick response, low distortion and portability. It is truly amazing in low light conditions and awesome in portraiture. Its only drawback: It overexposes images at very strong lighting such as in a typical mid-summer Mediterranean sunny day but you can reduce this effect by using an ND filter. I also tried the cheaper f1.8 lens and I'm also surprised in how good it performs given its price. I can hardly tell the difference. I finally went with the f1.4 because it is better build and professionally looking.
Good kit January 9, 2007

For SLR's w/ 1.5 crop factor this lens is gives you a 75mm which is great for portrate work. You can stay out of the models face like you would with a full frame SLR and an 85mm lense. Well worth the extra cash above the canon 50mm F1.8 and a hell of a bargin compared to the Canon 50mm-L F1.2 which is three or four times as much as this lense. A must have for Rebel, 10D,20D,30D (1.5 crop factor CCD's). A good value for the 5D and other Full frame crowd - But you probably make your living with your lenses and would pay the premium for the "L".
 EF 50 1.4 January 9, 2007

I bought this lens as an upgrade for the 50mm 1.8. I like the 1.8, but was disapointed by the build quality. I assumed the 1.4 would be like the 85 1.8, but it was not. Picture qualit is good and I have no issues with the pictures I get out of this lens
The AF motor is not true USM which makes everything a bit wobbly. The lens does extend when focussing. A solid and robust build is one of the things I like about primes and I do not find it here.
