Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM, ... already sharp at 1.4!
bought the 1.4 because I wanted to see the difference to my existing 1.8 in the original (me EOS 500D). And it's a huge difference. My 1.4 is already extremely sharp with an open aperture, especially where you set the AF point. The 1.8 had to be adjusted to about aperture 2.8 so that there were reasonably good pictures at all (.. maybe I got a Monday lens). At 1.8 only the center was sharp, no matter where the AF point was! The 1.4 is also extremely well made, has a metal bayonet connection, the focus ring is rubberized and has a fast USM. The only downside is that the tube extends when you focus and it shouldn't take any bumps if possible, but neither should any other lens. That's why I only use it with a lens hood, whether it's for transport or anywhere else! There is not much difference in image quality. If you have the 1.8 and are happy with it, you don't need the bigger brother. I was only able to test the quality in the middle, but if the images are not next to each other, you don't notice a difference (.. with an open aperture).
