Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM - APS-C Review / Retest
The overall build quality is very decent with a metal mount and an outer barrel made of good quality plastics. Manual focusing feels quite smooth albeit not damped. The broad, rubberized control ring is certainly a plus compared to the tiny focus ring on the EF 50mm f/1.8 II.

Best non L-Glass lens on the market.
I only wish the same optical quality was found in other wide angle lens from Canon in the same price range. Not as wide as you would like with a digital SLR, but it produces really good photos. tack-sharp. Great for portraits..
Pros:
- Everything
Cons:
- It doesn't have a 24mm twin sister for the same price

Good lenses, but not worth the price.
The Canon EF 50mm f1.8 II lens being one of my favorite lens I own, I tought of upgrading it to this one. Is this one better? Undeniably, but considering the Canon EF 50mm f1.8 II cost about 25% of the price of this one, the difference in build quality, USM and picture quality doesn't justify paying...

Ive owned this lens for 2-3 years and while its been good for low light with a Canon 5dMk 2, its build quality and reliability has not been good. Problems with focus jamming and rough manual focus was intolarable. I regretted not paying a bit more and buying a Sigma 50mm F1.4.
Pros:
- lightweight and sharp
Cons:
- poor contrast wide open
- plastic feel
- poor auto focus
- unreliable

Great fun with this 50mm lens.
Pros: Cons: Other thoughts: I purchased this lens to give our close up pictures that professional look. The low aperture of this lens allows for that great look, sharp and chrisp portraits with out of focus surroundings.

"A Prime Example"
Overview ------------- The Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 sits in between the cheap-o f/1.8 mkII version and the ridiculously expensive f/1 .2 L-series version. There was a crazy f/1.0L lens at one time but this seems to have been discontinued (presumably as nobody could afford it).
Pros:
- Low light performance
- sharpness
- colour saturation and contrast
Cons:
- Plasticy construction and poor feel of manual focus ring

Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM - Popular yet showing its age.
The Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM is probably the most common non-L-Series lens that you'll see in most professional photographers' camera bags. While the Canon EF 50mm f1.8 II Lens , commonly known as the "Nifty Fifty" is most common with amateur photographers and hobbyists, you'll actually be able to...
Pros:
- Low price point
- Good bokeh wide-open
- Non-rotating front element
- Solid construction
Cons:
- Soft performance wide-open
- No ring USM
- Sigma is much better
