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.

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!

- Excellent image quality

Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM Review
A standard 50mm lens with a bright maximum aperture of f/1.4 and silent ultrasonic focusing.
Pros:
- Performance-wise Canon's 50mm f/1.4 USM is fairly typical, showing it is capable of producing images with excellent sharpness across the frame at optimum apertures
- For low light shooting it would have been nice to see it perform better at f/1.4, but it is still quite capable of producing a decent...

REVIEW: Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM
Gary Wolstenholme takes a look at Canon's mid-range 'nifty-fifty'. Standard lenses such as this are popular due to their lightweight and bright maximum aperture.
Pros:
- Decent resolution across the frame when stopped down
- Good resistance to flare
- Low vignetting at maximum aperture
Cons:
- Barrel distortion may be noticeable in critical applications
- Quality towards the edges doesn't really excite until stopped down to f/4

Canon EF 50mm F1.4 USM Portrait Lens C21-6261-201 review
While it's not tack-sharp when used wide-open, the Canon EF 50mm ƒ/1.4 USM is still quite good, and stopped down to ƒ/4 image quality is excellent. At ƒ/8, it's as sharp as sharp gets. Used wide open however, the lens has some definite issues, and on full-frame, edge performance is remarkably poor.
