Lens Review
The lens arrived before the allotted time and was priced at a great value; however, the packaging was not impressive for such delicate item.

Brilliant Lens!!
I use this lens all the time for portraits in the studio. Absolutely brilliant, clear and focuses brilliantly on the subject. Works well at night/ less light situations as well. I would totally recommend this lens to any photographers.

Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM - Full Format Review / Lab Test Report
It is no surprise that the Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM is a very popular choice among Canon users when it comes to choosing a standard lens. It offers probably the best compromise between quality and price here. That said it's not a flawless lens when used on a full format DSLR.

Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM Review

A Fantastic Everyday Lens
I bought this lens on a whim back when I owned my 400D. As soon as I put this piece of glass on to my camera I hardly took it off. It is fast, easy to use, has a wonderful build quality and an outstanding rang of depth of field.
Pros:
- Super-sharp images
- Fast auto-focus

Great all purpose lens
I just love this lens on my 5D Mk II. It is lightweight and very sharp. It outperforms my two L lenses, and I am always amazed at the resolution it gives my pictures. I find myself using this more and more since it is so much lighter to carry when I want to shoot all day.
