Canon 50 / 1,4 USM

Good Sharpness, Great Bokeh and good for portraits and product photography.

AF hunts A LOT. Soft at f/1.4 but corrects at f/1.6 and up. even though its USM it is still very noisy in my opinion and doesnt seem to be able to focus at the 1.5' as advertised the closest I can get is 3'. I might have gotten a bad copy, stil testing...

Quick focus, sturdy construction. Excellent every day lens. Highly recommended. Shipping was fast and painless. Boxed and sent safely an securely.

Good build quality, much quieter than 1.8, nice bokeh.

Sluggish autofocus system, surprisingly bad color fringing.

I've had this lens for a couple of years now and every time I use it I still get amazed at the bokeh and colors that I am able to get. The f/1.4 is a life saver in certain light conditions and I wouldn't trade this lens for anything. Can't leave home...

This is a fantastic little lens. The ability to use F/1.4 opens up a world of shallow DOF, and some very interesting pictures. It also handles lowlight conditions much easier than any 'kit' lens or even an excellent F/2.8. It's light and compact, and...

You need to buy a separate lens cap for this lens. Because the focus mechanism protrudes in front of the lens, it is necessary to protect it. I bought the canon brand, but I suppose an aftermarket piece would work as well. Using the lens at F/1.4...

Worked well on canon T3i but since its cropped sensor it does make more then 50 mm. Great in low light for both video and picture taking. fast focusing compared to the 1.8 version and feel well made.

Not 50mm on any cropped sensor like Canon Ti series which like 1.5 x larger then normal

You get what you pay for. After using this lens I will never recommend the cheap 50mm 1.8. The build quality is great. Auto focus is better. Very sharp at around F4. Makes a decent portrait lens. Great image quality. It has great bokeh too. Buy it.

It's soft at F1.4 and sometimes it will not focus at all. Canon should include the lens hood with the lens. I hate how they try to be like Apple. Right now, Nikon is king so they better do something about it like releasing some more primes with IS at a...
