I could feel the difference when I first lifted it up from the box. Very decent build quality. fast focus, ultra silent focusing motor. It's the lens I take out with me most of the time, which implies it being a decent general purpose lens. On my 5D mrk II, it works perfectly. I do a bit portrait with this lens on my canon 40D, which is convenient. However, it does have front-back focus problem with my 40D. Mind you though that it is not a good macro lens. It's very soft with a dreamy effect from f-stop 1.4 to 1.8. The sharpness is greatly improved from f-stop 2.0 I figured that if you shoot in a restaurant with soft ambient light from the artificial light source, the lens actually generates very sharp images at f-stop 1.4 Overall, it's a very good decent lens.
Superb lens for the money. Incredibly sharp with great colour tone. Auto focus is pretty good as for build quality. I’ve had the 50mm f/1.8 and I found the f/1.4 lens to be much better in all aspects. Well worth the extra money. Great portrait lens.

This lens has just become my go to lens for Events, Weddings and Portraits as well as landscapes Best suites for Full Frame cameras but works just as great on a crop sensor camera ... I use the Canon 6D ( full frame) and the Canon 1500D (APA-C Crop Sensor)

The Canon ef 50mm f1.4 usm lens offers excellent image quality under a number of lighting conditions, it works very well under low light conditions. This lens ergonomically great with a good wide central focusing ring, it has AF but allows manual control. Images are sharp and focused and offers a good depth of field. Great prime lens to own.
