And that's why I don't own one. The EF 50/1.4 is one of the most fragile EF lenses in the lineup, surpassed only by the 50/1.8 II. It's beyond me why Canon offers four 50mm primes and you either have to baby them, or shell out $$ for one that isn't even as sharp at comparable apertures. It's like they don't know how to make a decent 50mm lens.
