50mm f/1.4 or 50mm f/1.8

Question...





Does anybody know if the 50mm f/1.4 DOESN't have the back focus behavior exhibited with the 50mm f/1.2L ?


I should just check to see if the f/1.2 still has that problem now that it's back from the factory... Then I can stop wondering if it's simply doomed [U]

I've never used the 1.4, but I can say that 1.8 is just about the best bang for the buck. I just don't have the extra few hundred dollars, definitely if the additions are mostly not related to optical quality.

The 50/1.8 is a great lens. I just wish it had the super-quick USM. It's autofocus is faster than my Tamron 70-300s, though. :-)
