Canon EF 50mm F1.4 USM
I had had my Canon 50mm F1.8 for nine months before i decided it was time i upgraded to the F1.4. The feel between the F1.4 and the F1.8 is very different. The 1.8 is an easy to handle and not so intimidating lens.

Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM review
The Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 is a pretty unassuming-looking lens. It's not big, it's not flashy and it's not particularly expensive for a fast prime lens. Indeed, the light weight and the plastic finish do give it a faintly cheap feel.

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.
