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

 Great large apeture lens! September 2, 2010
buck5150
The Canon f/1.4 lens is definetly worth the money. Don't get the cheap f/1.8 lens if you want really nice quality photos. Used it today for the first time at a professional photo shoot and it performed with excellent results...especially in darker areas. The f1/4 setting really sucks in the light and lets you get so very cool photos with that ultra soft, blurred background. I would reccomend this lens to anyone serious about photography...professional or hobbyist.
I don't think you need the over the top, super expensive lenses to get good photos. A naturally good eye for photography will always come through in your work. You can see my photo work at [...]
Excellent upgrade August 30, 2010
Christopher Beaugrand (American Canyon, CA United States)
I have been using the Canon 50mm 1.8 II lens for about 2 years now and have been happy with the picture quality. However, as many people describe, that lens tends to self-destruct, even with careful handling. Instead of replacing it with another, I decided to upgrade to this guy - and I'm glad that I did.
Others have reviewed the features and advantages of this lens. The only thing I'd like to add is that the USM makes a bigger difference than you might think if you've never used a lens with a USM/HSM before. Focus is very fast and silent.
I don't regret starting with the 50mm 1.8 II - it reassured me that having a prime lens in my pack was worth it. I would say that this lens is on my camera about 1/4 of the time, but it's well worth having if you take portraits of people or pets.
GREAT LENS FOR THE PRICE August 27, 2010
Ashley Prestia (GLENDALE, AZ, US)
Absolutely love this lens. My husband and I have been starting out our photography buisness and I would recommend this lens to anyone. I owned the cannon 1.8 50mm prior but the quality of this one is so much better. When I received it its body looks very study and a nice build. The pictures come out crisp and clear, gorgeous circular bokeh instead of the cheap octagon bokeh my older lens produced. Would recommend this to anyone!
I. Love. This. Lens. August 18, 2010
Jaimie Krause (St. Louis, MO USA)
