I bought this lens for the holidays to take pictures of our family and guests at each of our gatherings. I have a 50D and I take mostly sport shots. Indoor, non-moving targets are new to me. I have 3 kids that all play hockey and lacrosse so I have the 2.8 70-200 usm II and the 2.8 24-70 both L series and both incredible lenses. I didn't go for the 1.2L series because one of my friends is a professional wedding photographer and she knows people with both and found the difference slight. Please keep in mind when talking to my friend I was referring to non-professional use. It has done quite a nice job. I have been using it with a 580ex flash, so the pictures really do "pop". If you are in the market for a reliable, decent - indoor lens - I would recommend it. I have also taken some really nice sunset shots. The colors are very true. This lens is perfect for the price and the results. In this case - you may actually get a little more than you pay for...One thing - in low or filtered light, you better have a good flash, a tripod or a ridiculously steady hand - even at 1.4.

I mainly use this lens for weddings & portraits. The first thing I noticed was the green & magenta bokeh fringing. Green behind the plane of focus, magenta in front. I doubt that many clients would ever notice, but I certainly did. Also, this thing is NOT sharp at f/1.4. I had heard from several people that is was, but in my experience I have found that not to be true. If you stop it down to f/2.0 it is very sharp and tracks well using AI Servo. The focusing is decently fast unlike the 50mm f/1.8. If you can live without shooting your f/1.4 lens at f/1.4, then you will be pleased with this lens.

Comments about Canon Normal EF 50mm f/1.4 USM Autofocus Lens:

Great low light capture. Amazing Bokeh almost surreal. I honestly has nothing bad to say about the lens. My only problem is I was shooting this on a crop senor and as a result it zooms like an 85mm (35mm equiv) Not ideal for indoor, close quarter shots. Otherwise amazing.

        The 1.4 has superior quality and build when compared to canon's 50mm 1.8. I had the 1.8 first and when I got it it seemed to be very cheap feeling and did not seem like a great lens. I sold it and bought the 1.4, and the difference is amazing. The 1.4 feels durable, solid, and the quality is amazing.

        Its a great lens. Its a huge jump in quality from the 1.8, but works nearly as well as my 35mm f/1.4L. You can't beat this for the price. It works great on 7D too. Find the color a little inconsistent, but love the quality overall. B&H and canon deliver again!

                  Comments about Canon Normal EF 50mm f/1.4 USM Autofocus Lens:

                  I was surprised that for most subjects I was able to achieve satisfactory sharpness wide open while obtaining exceptional bokeh using my 7D. Before purchasing this lens I tried the Canon 28mm f/1.8 thinking that I wanted a wider prime on my 7D. However, I found that I had to stop down to f/3.5 before I achieved satisfactory sharpness. For both the 50mm and 28mm primes I compared them extensively with a 15-85 f/3.5-5.6 zoom set at 50 or 28mm, respectively. The 28mm did not compare favorably with my 15-85 while the 50mm lens was superior, as it should be, from f/1.4-2.8. My conclusion is that the 50 1.4 is great lens for indoor close-ups. Although stopping down does improve sharpness, I found it sharp enough (particularly for portraits) at 1.4. I was less impressed using the 50 at my daughter's choir concert where I had enough light that my 15-85 would have worked as well and would have had the additional zoom flexibility. I did shoot some video with the 50mm at the choir concert and this worked quite well. Since you can't auto zoom shooting video on the 7D with any of the zoom lens, using a prime makes better sense. So I expect to use the 50mm 1.4 for more video work in the future.

                        I have been back and forth between the Sigma and this lens. Mainly lookin at the focus issues.. It's really good on my 5DII. No focus issues at all. Of course its a 1.4 so shooting with it will yield a few photos that are a little off (if you are) but other than that its really nice and clear. It's build is nice too (not an L but look at the price) One thing I dont like is that it still feels like the focus motor is still engaged during manual focus..not sure if this is standard.. all in all lets see how it lasts but I really like shooting with it!! I tested with the 35 prior and it was too wide

                            I find myself using this lens all the time, even when I probably shouldn't be. It's an addiction I'm looking to remedy with a new lens but which one is next? Seriously though, I am having a lot of fun and creating some beautiful work with it. It has a little learning curve, I don't recommend using auto-focus with it but this lens is well worth the price.

                                I needed a light prime for video and this works great.

                                      I love this lens. It is a great lens for the price if you are looking to shoot at a bigger aperture, but don't want to spend big money on an L series lens. This lens as an alternative to the cheaper 50mm 1.8, or the expensive 50mm 1.2, is perfect. The focus is fast and the picture is clear. I highly recommend it.

                                          I use this lens for video. Good for portraits. Images are very sharp, excellent in low light conditions.

                                          Being able to go down to 1.4 is a great benefit in low light situations such as weddings.

                                              Focus is faster. bokeh is smoother. To my mind, this is worth 4x more than the Canon 50mm 1.8. Great for video, walkaround shooting. Focus ring has a good feel to it. Solid build.
