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

 Very Sharp! November 20, 2008
Photo Guru (Ruston, LA)
This lens Is Very lightweight which is good if you are moving around a lot. The prime focus is very very sharp. I think that is my favorite feature about the lens. it is easy to operate and fast. For the price I feel like I got more than I paid for. I own a 200-mm L, and a 24-70-mm L lenses, and an image stabilized 17-85-mm EFS that are wonderful. The affordable 50 mm canon lens still gets pulled out of the equipment bag regularly. Good buy, fun lens!
 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
Dr. Doodle (Washington State)
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
Mark (Honolulu, HI USA)
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).
