Amazon.com Product Description
The 50mm f/1.4 standard lens is a terrific choice for both casual and professional photographers. The lens is outfitted with two high-refraction lens elements and new Gaussian optics, which combine to eliminate astigmatism and suppress astigmatic difference. As a result, the lens obtains crisp images with little flare even at the maximum aperture. The lens's f/1.4 speed, meanwhile, is perfect for available-light shooting. And as a bonus, this lens is the only lens in the EF system to offer an extra-small Micro Ultra Sonic Motor (USM) while still providing a full-time manual focusing option. Other features include a close focusing distance of 1.5 feet, a 58mm filter size, and a one-year warranty. Specifications

 Incredible bang for the buck from Canon!! November 18, 2008
Casual Guru (Minneapolis, MN)
Better build quality than the f/1.8 and incredible price point with many of the attributes of the f/1.2 at a fraction of the price - this is my new "go to" lens when I want a lightweight, fast prime. It isn't the sharpest lens wide open, but stop it down to f/2 (and beyond) and you will be amazed. Great bokeh combined with fast AF for just over $300? I call that a deal any day of the week. As long as you aren't expecting "L-series" results I suspect you'll be pretty pleased with what Canon has to offer. Add the extension tubes for some incredible macro capability as well. I really enjoy this lens on my 5D. Highly recommended!
Very fast & at a fraction of the f1.2's price. November 16, 2008

I really like this lens. Focus is quick & sharp. Can't beat it for the money. Try pricing the Canon f1.2 lens and you'll see what I mean. For a huge premium all you get is a tad more speed and questionable improved sharpness. You will get slightly improved weather resistance but for most of us that really isn't a big deal.
In for a long-term relationship.... November 15, 2008

This was my first lens purchase other than the kit lens I got with my 30D. I've been using it for over a year now, and couldn't be happier with it. It's solid and fast, and is a real workhorse in low-light situations without flash--e.g., taking food shots in restaurants. Produces great portraits with beautiful bokeh.
Love this lens November 2, 2008

PROS: Super sharp images, great in almost any lighting condition, fast, sturdy build. 50mm focal length is a good compromise for most intimate shooting situations.
CONS: 50mm too close for some situations, need to aim carefully (difficult to autofocus correctly without careful targeting).

Canon EF 50mm f1.4 USM Standard & Medium Telephoto Lens for Canon SLR Cameras
I'd had this lens and used it constantly. After 4 or 5 years of being treated to Maine's cold winters/hot summers/sand, fog, and seawater ... and dropped after all that ... it was obviously time to replace this little workhorse with another of the same. Great low light lens for basketball, close-up work and when you want to get the shot but not draw attention to yourself. Good quality, no aberrations. The fact that I immediately replaced the lens should let you know I consider it a necessity in my camera bag.
