I bought this lens mostly for its incredible sharpness and optical qualities. Its very fast maximum aperture (f/1.4) was only a secondary consideration. from Amazon.com The whole reason I purchased this lens was for shooting in extremely low light like museums & concerts, plus shots using only ambient light. It's proven to be well worth the money! from Amazon.com About the only negative that I can think of this lens is the build quality - I wish the lens mechanicals was a little bit tighter, had better environmental seals, and more metal. For the price, everything else is top notch - excellent optics, good focus performance, very little to be picky about from performance standpoint. from Amazon.com This little lens does it all and then some. Yes, pricey, but it captures great pictures on my 50D! from Amazon.com Like the title says, this is a pretty solid lens, but it underperforms in certain situations. In daylight, it's super sharp at f/2.2 and up. from Amazon.com The bokeh that this glass makes is AMAZING. I have used the 1.8 plastic 50 mm and to be honest I think that is very very good. For most people that should be good enough. from Amazon.com I read and view a lot of review about this lens before purchase it, and the pros are right, its a great lens, excellent sharpness, great DOF and an amazing lightness, i always wanted a luminous lens and i got just what i needed, i have some pictures with this lens if you want to see in the album "Sesion improvisada" [...] from Amazon.com I bought this lens so I could take pictures of people and blur the background. It does a fantastic job as long as you keep your shutter speed high enough (faster than 1/80). from Amazon.com i love this lens. i borrowed it from my friend for a couple weeks and took lots of shots w/ it... from Amazon.com I bought the Canon 50mm f/1.4 lens about 3 years ago. It was OK and did a descent job of capturing low light images (small clubs/concerts) but it has lost its ability to focus. from Amazon.com
