@TheHolyFishyCracker I think it is cheap and plasticky compare to L lenses and especially Zeiss lenses which I like the metal build a lot. The image that EF 50 f/1.4 produces is pretty amazing, just wish it would have build quality of the Zeiss 50 f/1.4 ZE Plannar T :) If it would, I think it could have been the best selling lens of all the time.
Great review.. From your review this lens is a value for money as compared with 1.2L. Do you think it's worth getting that over this one?.. Also, it's just interesting you mentioned that this is your 'fun' lens and use the 24-70mm mostly. I find m 50mm1.4 obviously sharper than my 24-70mm. My 50mm 1.4 has never let me down thus far. thanks.
It is a good lens, but my mate has been through 4 of them, all had minor autofocus calibration issues :\ If you rely on consistantly sharp focus, reduce the lazyness and focus manually I think hey. I on the other hand have been through a few nifty fifties simply because I run around with it on in the rain, doesn't mix :\
@whitemsk "mm" stands for millimeter, a measure of the lens' focal length, which in this case, is "fixed" (doesn't zoom in or out). I hope this helps!
I have the 50mm f1.2 and I love it but the 1.4 is better value

Canon 50mm f/1.8 DOES have a metal mount, the 50mm f/1.8 II DOESNT .. you needa correct that next time.

Did you actually just say that you zoom lens has better optical performance than the 50mm?
Are you insane?

@sammydemon666 I personally experience that at 50mm f/2.8, the EF 24-70 f/2.8L USM is about the same as the 50 f/1.4 USM

Is it too zoomed in because I am considering this over the 28mm but its on a crop sensor so its hard because I like this much better

In my opinion, no camera bag is complete without a 50mm! I have a "nifty 50" that is great for night video! (Very cheap, though!)

@slyflight Very true, even though they have some flaws you just cant beat the charm and feel you get from images shot with them.
