Tack sharp images
This little beauty shines! I have owned the $100 50mm F/1.8, and it is a usable and good starter prime. I have also shot with the 50mm F/1.2 L, which will run you $1600. I purchased this lens as a fine cost/value compromise.
Pros:
- Immaculate image quality without "L" investment
Cons:
- you will want to pick up a lens hood.

Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM Review
Canon users are blessed with a choice of three 50mm primes offering maximum apertures of f/1.8, f/1.4 and f/1.2. The middle lens is reviewed here, but Canon also sent the f/1.2 lens so it too has been commented on in passing.
Pros:
- Fantastic MTF figures
Cons:
- AF is slightly unrefined

Make The Investment
If like me, you are considering this lens versus the Canon 50mm f/1.8 I would consider buying this lens if you shoot a lot indoors or low light.
Pros:
- Excellent image quality
- Excellent in low light
- Fast focus
Cons:
- Heavy

Awesome Lens!
Just got this after reading reviews online with this compared to the 1.8f. So happy with this lens it's not even funny. Takes awesome shots even in super low light. Still testing out the shallow depth of field though. USM is super quiet also!

Simply the best for the money
This is a very sharp lens with it being 1.4 this enables a very shallow depth of field. I find it to be of the best close to the 1.2 "L" series. I have used it on my 5D Mark II and my 7D fast focus and a quiet responce never better.
Pros:
- pro photography
- photosbyted.com

a review of a parents
The Canon 50mm 1.4 gobbles light. It opens up a world of indoor photography that is not possible with a 4.0 lens. The 50mm focal length combined with available light produces natural-looking results. It is exactly what your eye sees. Shadows and highlights are intact.

Perfect Lens for Portraits
First of all the price was great and lower than many other sites I had looked at and the delivery time was fast! The lens arrived in well packaged and has already exceeded my expectations. With the low aperture it's a perfect lens for portraits and items that you want high detail on.
