Canon 50 mm 50mm f/1.4 Lens

From: $325.00

Standard lens featuring superb quality and portability. Two high-refraction lens elements and new Gaussian optics eliminate astigmatism and suppress astigmatic difference. Crisp images with little flare are obtained even at the maximum aperture.

From: Amazon Posted: Jun 16, 2008 Type: User Review I love this lens

After using the f1.4 for several months and then holding a friend's f1.8, I am so glad I chose this lens over the f1.8. The USM is so quick and quiet, the bokeh is gorgeous... I have gotten several wonderful prints with this lens. If you can...

From: Amazon Posted: Jun 15, 2008 Type: User Review Sharp as a tack

I love this lens. It wasn't sharp as a tack when I first got it though. I had to have Canon calibrate it and there was something they needed to fix.
But now it's great!
Even before they fixed it I like it a lot.
Almost painterly...

From: Amazon Posted: May 22, 2008 Type: User Review Excellent lens, extremely sharp, great value

My first lens for the 40D. It took me a few days to get used to this lens and once I fully figured out how to use it with my DSLR I was completely blown away with the image quality. It's great in low light as well.
I highly recommend it.

From: Amazon Posted: May 21, 2008 Type: User Review Value for money

The 50mm 1.4 is a good value for the money. It shoots in less light than the 50mm 1.8 and is better all around. The focus is a bit more accurate and consistent, the contrast and color are more reliable as well. That should be no surprise...

I'm not a professional by any means, but I do love photography. I bought this lens after lots of consideration because of its qualities as a good macro lens and potential portrait lens.

This lens is so much more. Because of the...
