I love this lens!! the nifty fifty was great but this was a welcome upgrade, speaking of which, anybody want a 50mm f/1.8??


1/50s f/1.4 ISO 400

Enjoy!


My 50 1.4 just went on the auction block with hood and crappy canon UV filter.

Why are you getting rid of it Keith? (And my 50 f/1.4 has a B&W MRC on it!) :-)


mattsartin - It really helps capturing the shot indoors in low light, doesn't it?

Never use it. If I have taken 300 shots with it I'd bee surprised. I use to use it for portraits on my 40D, but on FF it is just kid of a blah range. I much rather use my 35 1.4.

[Sean Setters]

Yeah, I suppose that makes sense. If you've got Ls in f/1.4, you might as well use them instead....

I never really had any complaints about it. Image quality was fine, focused fine I just like a wider perspective. I tried to convince myself I liked the focal length just because of the price. I bought it brand new for $289 and my 35 1.4 cost me $1400.

Yes, but saving up for a telephoto has all my pennies in the same jar. Enjoy your 1.4!

Just curious, what do you like more on the 1.4 compared to the 1.8 (apart from the build quality of course!)?


Love the cat yawning shot BTW!
