I have to say I did buy the 50mm 1.4 for my canon, and first I was getting some SUPER shots, and some not so good ones, been pracicing on shots and WOW it IS amazing, although I did spend the extra $$ on it, it was $500, where as the 1.8 was only $100ish I'm glad I got the one I did, and I'm not looking back. Although I have to say if my other lense wasn't in for getting fixed, I might not have been so patient using it...but with it being my only lense right now I have no choice, and my pics (to me) have been beautiful, and the colour amazing! It was just hard to get over the fact no zoom! Can't wait for you to enjoy yours too ladies!!
