Well, considering how much the Sigma 50/1.4 cost, it can go quite good against the Canon 50mms if you don't push on the AF performance. I think the point is not getting the absolute "best" lens regardless the cost; as said, the Sigma 50/1.4 is a good choice. At this moment I don't own any 50mm lens, because none of the 50mm lenses now on the market satisfy me as much as I would like to spend money on. If the Sigma somehow fixes their AF performance, I'll buy.
