Comments about EF 50mm F/1.4 USM Lens for Canon SLR Cameras:

Got it on sale. Great lens, great price, worked as expected taking wonderful images with awesome Bokeh. Rarely do post processing as I have to do with all my zoom lense shots. I like using primes as it make you think more about your shot and gives you more options with the much larger aperture.

I upgraded from an old 50mm f/1.8 and use this 50mm f/1.4 lens on my 60D and 6D, along with a 70-200 f/4 L IS, a 85 mm f/1.8 and 24-105 f/4 L IS standard zoom.

Comments about EF 50mm F/1.4 USM Lens for Canon SLR Cameras:

Very nice lense for the price. Amazing low light performance.

If you have to choose between this and 50mm 1.8 do not hesitate and get this one. it is way better and for less than $ 200 difference you get much more for the money.

Takes great/crisp pictures, especially in low light. Clarity of the pictures is stunning compared to a kit lens. Great bang for the buck.

Comments about EF 50mm F/1.4 USM Lens for Canon SLR Cameras:

I purchased this and loved it... problem is in November the a/f stopped working, also was glitchy with manual focus. I have been too busy to deal with this, but the product DID NOT last the full year it was under warranty.
